Header Plug Gaskets

EZ Torque® Kammprofile Gaskets

A serrated metal core with bonded graphite on each face seals Fin-Fan® header plugs with less than half the torque of a flat gasket. Less torque means no over-torqued gasket surfaces, no costly remachining, and fewer leaks on startup.

Product Overview

Seal With Half the Torque

"I can vouch for these gaskets. Since we started using these over the OEM, we have not had a start up leak on our fin fan exchangers."

M. Ferguson

Also known as a camprofile gasket, the EZ Torque® Kammprofile gasket gives a positive seal with less than half the installation torque of a traditional flat heat exchanger gasket. The serrated core focuses and distributes sealing force, so the graphite seals against surface imperfections instead of being crushed.

That helps your leak test pass the first time and saves the header box from remachining.

Field-Proven Performance
The bonded graphite face seals against surface imperfections and resists damage from over-torquing, cutting down on costly remachining in the field.
Reduce Downtime. Stop Leaks.

Why EZ Torque®

The ProblemFlat gaskets harden under torque and lose their ability to yield and seal. Over-torquing damages header box gasket surfaces.
Torque AdvantageLess than half the install torque helps prevent strain hardening, plug thread galling, and thread shear in the header box.
Better SealThe serrated core focuses sealing force so the graphite seals against surface imperfections without over-torquing.
Cost SavingsLess remachining, less downtime, and fewer startup leaks on every turnaround.

Common Questions

EZ Torque® Gasket FAQ

What is the minimum quantity I can order?

There's no minimum. Sometimes you need one gasket there tomorrow, and we're here to help. We offer price breaks on larger quantities.

Can you supply the header plugs for these gaskets?

Yes. We make our gaskets and header plugs in-house and can fill any size order for both.

Are your gaskets annealed after stamping?

No. The material is annealed before the gasket is stamped out.

I need a size that isn't listed. What should I do?

Call us. We're a custom machine shop as well as a manufacturer, and we can make gaskets to any custom specification.

Can I get a different thickness or material?

Yes. Because we're the manufacturer, we can customize your gaskets to the exact specs you need without adding much lead time.
