Tylox - Model SOCL Series -Profile Gaskets

Benefits of the Tylox® SOCL Profile Gaskets

•  Fool-proof Installation. The correct orientation of the gasket on the spigot is assured by the utilization of the colored stripe on the nose of the gasket. Simply install the gasket with the colored stripe facing out from, and located towards the end of, the spigot.
•  Easier equalization: The incorporation of the unique “lamell” profile design allows for reduced gasket stretch requirements when compared to a conventional profile gasket. Reduced stretch means less equalization effort and a reduced potential for bell breakage due to unequal stresses in the rubber gasket.
•  No gasket “roll” or “twist”. Another benefit of the unique “lamell” design is the significant decrease in insertion force when compared to a conventional profile gasket. The reduction in homing force, coupled with the wide, flat base, virtually eliminates the potential for gasket roll and twist. Manual coupling of up to 24” pipe is possible.
