Instead of just a flat-sealing surface like the original design, we incorporated two thin V-shaped beads on both sides for even better sealing. We also added locating\/tell-tale \"fences\" all around, inside and out. These fences keep the gasket in place during installation, and the outer fence prevents \"sucking in\" (a common problem with the original flat design) and doubles as a visual indication that the gasket is in place all the way around—eliminating the guesswork! \u003cem\u003eCheck out the video tab!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrefer basic cork?\u003c\/strong\u003e While supplies last, we still offer the original cork gasket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eViton Rubber\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is Viton you ask?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell, Viton is a fluorocarbon-based fluoroelastomer.

It is often used in the aerospace and automotive industries where exposure to high temperatures, fuel, oil, and other chemicals is common. It is tough and durable, with great abrasion and tear resistance. It is famous for its fluid resistance and ability to withstand exposure to aggressive fuels, oils, acids, gases, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals.
