Flat Header Plug Gaskets
The traditional way to seal header plugs in Fin-Fan® and air-cooled heat exchangers. A simple flat gasket under each plug prevents leaks and improves the seal. We make them in any material, any size, and with any coating you need.

EZ Torque® Header Plug Gaskets
Our EZ Torque® gasket seals with less than half the installation torque of a flat gasket. A serrated metal core with bonded graphite on each face seals against surface imperfections, so you avoid costly remachining and pass leak tests faster.
"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."

Flat 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.
