Metal Gasket Face Seal Fittings

Metal gasket face seal fittings are essential components in a wide range of industries, where preventing leaks is paramount. A typical metal gasket face seal fitting assemblies consist of the glands, gasket, female nut and male nut. In addition to these parts, metal gasket face seal fitting also include body, plug, cap, flow restrictor locking device, etc.

Advantages of Metal Gasket Face Seal Fittings

A. Repeated reassembling and use

Squeezed metal gaskets do not damage the sealing surface of the gland, so they can be reassembled and used repeatedly with only one gasket change per time, resulting in low maintenance costs;

B. No dead zone, no residue and easy to purge

The structure of the metal gasket face seal fittings allows the sealing element to be completely purged by the gas, thus eliminating the risk of contamination due to residue;

C. Easy to install and disassemble

These fittings are easy to be installed and disassembled with conventional tools only, which can significantly improve the efficiency of installation and maintenance.

D. Metal-to-metal hard seal, good sealing performance

When tightening the nut, the gland at both ends will squeeze the metal gasket from both directions, and since the hardness of the gland sealing surface is higher than that of the metal gasket, the metal gasket will be slightly deformed, and a tight face seal will be formed between the gland and the metal gasket to ensure the sealing performance.
