FDA Silicone Cam and Groove Gasket

This FDA silicone cam and groove gasket fits 6 in couplings in sanitary fluid transfer lines. It provides a compliant seal for food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing where material purity is required. The flat profile suits standard cam-lock assemblies used in hygienic piping systems. Buyers needing a non-silicone elastomer or a different coupling size cannot use this gasket.

Thermal stability and pressure retention

The silicone compound maintains sealing force across the temperature range typical of clean-in-place and steam-in-place cycles. It resists compression set so the joint stays tight without retorquing after thermal cycling. The material does not harden or crack under repeated exposure to hot water and approved sanitising agents. Installers who need a gasket rated for continuous dry heat beyond the silicone range should select an alternative material.

Included gasket only

The package contains the single red silicone gasket with a 7 1/16 in outside diameter and 6 in inside diameter. No lubricant, adhesive, tools or additional hardware are supplied. The gasket arrives ready to install between matching cam and groove fittings. Teams expecting a kit with clamps, fittings or installation instructions must source those items separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 6 in silicone cam-and-groove gasket without it shifting when I close the arms?

Lay the flat gasket squarely in the coupling groove, align the 7 1/16 in outside diameter with the flange face, then close both cam arms evenly so the red silicone seats flat without twisting.

When should I replace the FDA silicone gasket in a 6 in cam-and-groove fitting?

Replace it when the red silicone shows permanent compression set, surface cracking, or hardening that prevents a leak-free seal after re-tightening the cam arms.

What temperature limit appears first during continuous steam or hot-fluid service with this 6 in gasket?

The silicone material reaches its maximum continuous-service temperature before the mechanical coupling fails, so monitor process heat against the FDA silicone rating.
