Tylox® Type C Fin Gasket 

Perfectly engineered to tightly couple tongue and groove pipe, the gasket’s forward-facing fins eliminate joint kickback and form a leak-tight seal when compressed. There’s no roll or twist during coupling, and the scored gripping surface on the underside of the gasket provides enhanced grip to the spigot. The design of the Type C fin gasket accommodates up to 0.5” (12.7 mm) of joint deflection without leakage.

The Type C gasket works well on pipe sizes up to 72” (1829 mm). Make a solid connection every time with the Tylox® Type C Fin Gasket.

Pressure Rating

On tongue and groove joints with a 5° maximum slope, the Tylox® Type C profile gaskets can accommodate up to 13 psig (30 ft Head or 90 kPa) pressure requirements when fully homed in straight alignment. Proof of design testing should be completed at the plant to ensure the pipe and gaskets will meet project requirements.

Tylox® Type C Fin gaskets are produced in several models to seal different pipe sizes and joint configurations.

If your company has existing equipment for manufacturing a gasketed joint, please provide a joint drawing to your HK representative so the right gasket can be selected and priced for you. If you’re considering the purchase of tongue and groove equipment, please consult with HK so we can recommend a joint design for the best performance.
