What Sets This Material Apart

The Utility Grade family encompasses varying binder compositions depending on the style number. Selection should never be based solely on the Utility Grade designation.

Guidance for Replacement Assessments

For gaskets in fuel or oil service, specify the exact media, operating temperature, and bolt torque/tightening method.

To compare constructions: Garlock Utility Grade 2950 and Garlock BLUE-GARD 3000. A shared nitrile binder alone does not ensure equivalent fluid compatibility or identical load-bearing performance under bolt load.
