Blue-Max® Non-Asbestos Boiler Gaskets
Blue-Max®
boiler gaskets will give you all of the advantages of an asbestos
gasket without the health risks.
For maximum sealing on new and old flanges, use the max,
Blue-Max®. Blue-Max® gaskets are manufactured from
a proprietary tacky cloth of glass synthetic fibers and brass wire, and
impregnated with a blue elastomer compound.
Key Benefits
Zero Leakage Under Pressure
Even the slightest leakage is too much, as it increases
maintenance and reduces boiler life. Tests by major
boiler manufacturers confirm that Blue-Max® gaskets
seal- with zero leakage-on steam to 450 psi and on
cold-water hydro tests up to 1500 psi and Blue-Max®
withstands working temperatures up to 500 degrees
Fahrenheit. Rubber gaskets simply can't withstand that
kind of pressure and heat.
Easily Removed
Removal is easy and requires no scraping, chiseling or
grinding. This is important in reducing the maintenance
costs and down time.
Sizes Clearly Marked
Each gasket is permanently marked with its size, so
you'll know immediately you have the appropriate one.
Easy Problem Free Installation
Blue-Max® gaskets offer installation advantages over
other types.
Because of the materials construction and strength,
there is no danger of over tightening the gasket and
cutting it in half.
A Blue-Max® gasket naturally lays flat on the flange and
requires no special installation tools, procedures or
training. Simply install the gasket and crank it down.
Refer to Step #4 on the Installation Instructions.
Interchangeable Sizes
Corresponding obround and oval sizes are
interchangeable, thanks to the unique properties of the
material. It is not necessary to stock separate gaskets
to accommodate slight size variations and chances of a
dangerous mismatch are thereby reduced.
Maximum Sealing on Rough Surfaces
Rough and pitted surfaces on old or poorly maintained
flanges pose no problem for a Blue-Max® gasket. The
material is resilient enough to conform perfectly to
surface topography and maintain the tightest possible
seal.
Chemical Resistant
The proprietary Teflon wrap is resistant to the
chemicals used in treating boiler water, so gaskets will
last longer.
Extended Shelf Life
A Blue-Max® Gasket won't dry out or lose its strength
while in sits on the shelf.
