Gaskets

Gaskets for Water Trucks

Gaskets are the seal between two flanged faces, and on a water truck they sit at almost every system: tank outlets, pump housings, pipe work and camlock assemblies. A worn, split or incorrectly rated gasket is one of the most common causes of nuisance leaks and pressure loss. Replacing them is quick and inexpensive, which makes keeping spares on hand well worth it.

Welding Solutions supplies rubber gaskets suited to the water and slurry lines found on water carts and transfer systems. Rubber gives the compression and flexibility needed to seal reliably against vibration and the constant flexing these trucks experience on rough ground. Unlike a rigid seal, a quality rubber gasket takes up small imperfections in the flange face and holds its seal as bolts are torqued and the joint settles under working pressure.
