Parker’s Compression Limited ParFab Gaskets are extruded and spliced seals containing ridged grommets that limit compression during assembly. The grommets are positioned to accommodate existing bolts/studs in the application and act as a “hard-stop” for the mating components. These limiters prevent over compression which often causes major damage to the integrity of the seal. Utilizing Parker’s patent pending compression limited gaskets can reduce maintenance costs associated with retorquing and eventually replacing gaskets in service. Also, installation is much faster compared to on-site gasket fabrication, saving time and money in your assembly process.
