What is the primary benefit of the Viton coating on this gasket?

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers is designed to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments and varying load conditions. It's also heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C), helping to ensure a reliable seal.

What does Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction mean for this gasket?

MLS construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel. This design increases the gasket's strength, allows it to rebound effectively, and provides excellent resistance to corrosion, contributing to a more durable seal.

Does this gasket come with any hardware or sealant?
