ACV Gasket 55412023

The ACV Gasket 55412023 is a sealing component designed for use with heating elements of the HLE type in ACV boilers and water heaters. It has a thickness of 5 mm and an outer diameter of 135 mm, with dimensions of 135-80x5. This gasket is compatible with ACV HLE, CA 400, CA 600, CA 800, HeatMaster 120, and Delta Pro 85 models. It is pressure-resistant and provides effective joint sealing, ensuring leak-free operation at the interface between the heating element and the vessel.

When selecting a gasket of this type, verify that the dimensions (outer diameter, inner diameter, and thickness) match the original part exactly. The gasket must be compatible with the specific heating element model and the boiler or water heater model. Before installation, ensure the system is depressurized and drained, clean the mating surfaces, and apply sealant if recommended by the manufacturer. Do not reuse old gaskets, as they may have degraded.

Gaskets of this kind typically fail due to compression set, aging, or improper installation, leading to water leaks around the heating element flange or threaded connection. Symptoms include visible water dripping or pooling near the element, reduced system pressure, or corrosion on the mating surfaces. Check the gasket for cracks, flattening, or loss of elasticity, and replace it if any damage is found.
