Gasket
Bendix

This gasket is a critical sealing element designed for mating surfaces within hydraulic and pneumatic brake valve assemblies. Its primary function is to create an effective barrier against fluid leakage and ingress of contaminants, supporting reliable pressure control and system integrity under dynamic load and vibration. By maintaining a stable seal, it helps preserve braking force, reduce maintenance intervals, and prevent unintended pressure loss that could compromise valve performance. The gasket’s simplicity and compatibility with common valve bodies make it a cost-effective solution for preventative maintenance, ensuring consistent torque retention on mating flanges and preventing seepage that can degrade braking efficiency. In field applications, technicians appreciate the predictable sealing performance during routine service and reassembly after component replacement. VMRS code 013-009-006 locates this part within the sealing and gasket family of braking system components, while category 41370 indicates its applicability in valve-bodied assemblies where reliable sealing is essential for overall system performance.
