Dexter Copper Gasket for Trailer Brake Actuator Orifice, 0.81 in. O.D. X 0.510 in. I.D. X 0.032 in., Part 068-467-00

This copper gasket from Dexter is designed to seal the orifice fitting on a trailer brake actuator, providing a reliable metal-to-metal seal at the connection point. Copper construction allows the gasket to compress slightly under torque, filling minor surface imperfections to prevent hydraulic fluid leaks at the orifice joint. It measures 0.81 inch outer diameter by 0.510 inch inner diameter by 0.032 inch thick, sized specifically for the orifice fitting used on Dexter trailer brake actuators. As a wear item, this gasket should be replaced any time the orifice fitting is removed or serviced, since a reused gasket may not compress evenly and can result in a fluid leak. Part number 068-467-00 identifies this gasket for ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this gasket used for? Dexter part 068-467-00 is a copper gasket that seals the orifice fitting on a trailer brake actuator, preventing hydraulic fluid from leaking at that connection.

What size is the 068-467-00 gasket? It measures 0.81 inch outer diameter, 0.510 inch inner diameter, and 0.032 inch thick.

What material is the gasket made of? Copper. The soft metal compresses under torque to form a tight seal against minor surface imperfections on the orifice fitting.

Do I need to replace this gasket every time I remove the orifice fitting? Yes. A copper gasket like the Dexter 068-467-00 should be replaced whenever the orifice fitting is removed, since a reused gasket may not seal evenly and can lead to a fluid leak.

Is this a genuine Dexter part? Yes, part number 068-467-00 is a Dexter branded gasket, not a generic aftermarket substitute.

How many gaskets come in an order? This listing is for a single copper gasket, part 068-467-00.

Will this gasket fit any trailer brake actuator? It is sized for the orifice fitting used on Dexter trailer brake actuators; confirm your actuator uses the same 0.81 in. O.D. X 0.510 in. I.D. Orifice fitting before ordering.

Can this gasket be reused after removal? No. Once a copper gasket like the 068-467-00 has been compressed and removed, it should be discarded and replaced with a new one to maintain a proper seal.

What tools are needed to install this gasket? Installing the 068-467-00 gasket only requires removing and re-torquing the orifice fitting on the brake actuator; no special tools are needed beyond a standard wrench for the fitting.

Why is copper used instead of rubber for this seal? Copper is used because it can withstand the pressure and fluid exposure at the brake actuator orifice fitting while deforming slightly to seal, unlike rubber which can degrade from brake fluid over time.
