Gask-O-Seals
Gask-O-Seals have the elastomer molded directly within the groove or grooves of metal or plastic retainer. During assembly, the rubber seal is deformed a predetermined amount to very nearly fill the void areas to achieve controlled confinement, Gask-O-Seals are very reliable elastomer-bonded-to-metal or plastic sealing devices intended for applications requiring extreme reliability, longevity and durability. They are used in a wide range of military, communications, aircraft and marine applications.

Integral Seals Integral seals are custom engineered sealing devices designed to solve specific customer sealing problems. The integral seal design bonds the elastomer sealing element to thin metal or engineered plastic retainer plates, allowing for a very complex sealing geometry, ease of assembly and reliable service in a single seal element. These reliable seals are best suited to high-volume OEM or retrofit application in automotive, industrial, aerospace and military applications. Read More |
Fastener and Fitting Seals
Fasteners and fitting seals provide reliable static sealing for screws, bolts, tube fittings and other fasteners. Available designs are Stat-O-Seals for sealing under the heads of bolts and other similar fasteners, ThredSeals for sealing around the thread roots of any threaded fastener and Lock-O-Seal for sealing tub fitting bosses. Fastener and fitting seals are available in a wide range of standard size, retainer materials, compounds and surface finishes. Standard and custom fastener seal kits are also available. Read More |
Metal Seals and Gaskets Valley Seal provides metal seals in a wide range of base metals and plating finishes. Applications include cryogenic, high vacuum, ultra-low leakage, high radiation, and significant thermally included movements. They are suitable for use in compressors, heat exchangers, jet engines and other high-temperature or chemically reactive applications. They are available as metal jacketed gaskets, corrugated gaskets in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Our resilient metal seals include O, C, E, U and V sections from 0.031” to 0.625” (0.78 to 15.8mm) with any diameter from 0.180” (4.6mm) upwards, depending on the selected product. We also manufacture AS1895 E type seals and MS9141 and 9142 metal O-rings. Read More |
O-Rings O-rings are available in all AS568 inch sizes as well as a wide range of international metric sizes to DIN 3771, ISO 3601 and JIS B2401. In addition, Parker is tooled in over 1,500 non-standard O-ring sizes which are available on special order, and can make practically any custom O-ring imaginable. O-rings can be molded in a wide range of elastomer compounds ranging from basic neoprene to special perfluorinated materials called Parofluor ULTRA. O-rings are recommended for both static and dynamic sealing services in practically all vacuum, gas and liquid applications. With the widest range of compounds available in the industry and a full complement of specialty material formulations, Valley Seal Company has the product to meet the world’s needs. Read More |
PTFE back up rings PTFE back-up rings are designed to prevent extrusion in rubber O-ring sealing systems. Rubber O-rings generally serve as effective seals for dynamic and static applications in hydraulic and pneumatic systems equipment. One big drawback of rubber O-rings is their tendency to extrude into the clearance of mating surfaces when subjected to increasing pressures and temperatures. Elevated temperatures (160°F and higher) impose a severe burden on the physical and mechanical properties of rubber O-rings, which further increases their tendency to extrude. The combination high pressures and high temperatures is a common occurrence in present day fluid systems. Moreover, the trend is toward still higher pressures and longer resident times at elevated temperatures. This places more emphasis on the role of the back-up ring in preventing O-Ring extrusion.
