{"product_id":"2-ridged-gasket","title":"Hydroquip 2\" Ridged Gasket","description":"\u003cp\u003eHydroquip 60-0015 is a rubber ridged gasket for standard 2 inch unions. It is a replacement seal that turns up in several standard 2 inch unions and can be used with unions from a number of different manufacturers, which is what makes it worth keeping on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlat one side, ridged the other\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gasket is flat on one face and carries a raised o-ring style extension on the other. That shape is the whole point: the flat side beds against one union half while the raised ridge concentrates the clamping load into a narrow band on the other, which is what makes the joint seal at low tightening force. It also means the gasket has a right way round, so note the orientation of the old one as it comes out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions to check\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutside diameter is 2-15\/16 inch, inside diameter is 2-1\/8 inch, and thickness is 3\/32 inch across the flat section or 3\/16 inch measured over the ridge. Compare those against the gasket you are replacing, because a union that looks like a 2 inch union is not always dimensionally identical. A seal that is old, hard or has taken a permanent set will not recover, and no amount of tightening will make it hold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hydro-Quip","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48635042562260,"sku":"HQP-801-1000","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_488ec92b-ab43-4789-aa22-6332e32d9a29.jpg?v=1788840487","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/2-ridged-gasket","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
