Spears GK1-020 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Spears Buna-N flange gasket come in?
Two trade sizes are offered: 2 inch (GK1-020) and 3 inch (GK1-030). Order the gasket to match the nominal size of the flange it seats between, not the OD of the pipe.
2) Will a Buna-N gasket hold up in a chemical process line, or should I use EPDM?
Buna-N (nitrile) is the material here, and it resists oils, fuels, and many chemicals while staying flexible over time. That makes it a good match for hydrocarbon and oil-bearing service. Nitrile is not the choice for strong oxidizers or where a specific chemical chart calls for EPDM or Viton, so check the media against a nitrile compatibility chart before you commit on a process line.
3) Does this gasket work with CPVC flanges or only PVC?
It suits both. The gasket is made to pair with Spears PVC and CPVC flange fittings, and the sealing element is rubber, so the pipe material on either side doesn't change the gasket selection, only the size does.
4) Do I need bolts and washers too, or does the flange gasket kit include them?
The gasket is the sealing ring only. Bolts, nuts, and washers for the flange joint are separate, as is the mating flange itself. Plan on a full bolt set sized to the flange pattern for each joint you're making up.
5) Can I use this as a full-face gasket between a PVC flange and a metal flange?
It's a flat rubber flange gasket sized to Spears PVC and CPVC flanges, so it seats on any mating flange face of the same nominal size and drilling. What decides the joint is bolt torque: thermoplastic flanges take far less torque than steel, so back off to the plastic flange's rating and pull the bolts in a star pattern so the rubber compresses evenly.
6) Is a rubber gasket enough on its own, or do I need thread sealant or pipe dope on a PVC flange joint?
No sealant on the gasket face. The Buna-N ring does the sealing when the flange faces are drawn flat against it. Dope or tape on a flat-face joint can make the gasket slip and actually cause a leak. Any solvent weld or thread connection behind the flange gets its own cement or sealant, but the gasket face stays clean and dry.
7) How many gaskets come in a box?
25 per pack. For a maintenance crib or a multi-flange run that's enough to cover a job without reordering per joint, but it does mean a single-flange repair buys you 24 spares.
