Overview
The Victaulic LPC R20 3″ gasket is a precision-engineered sealing ring for Victaulic grooved pipe couplings. Designed for 3-inch pipe with 88.9/89.1 mm OD specifications, this gasket provides the pressure-responsive triple-seal technology that Victaulic is known for across industrial and commercial piping systems. The R20 model is part of Victaulic’s comprehensive gasket lineup for mechanical joint applications in water, pneumatic, hydraulic, and process piping.
Key Features
- Pressure-responsive seal — gasket provides increased sealing action as internal pressure increases
- Compatible piping materials — creates permanent, leak-tight triple seal on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, PVC, ductile iron and copper pipe
- EPDM/Nitrile construction — dual-material gasket option for broad chemical and temperature compatibility
- Molded design — gasket molded to fit internal cavity of coupling housing
- Secure groove fit — engineered for 3″ grooved couplings with precise OD tolerance matching
