This is a gasket kit only, made from cork construction, intended to replace the seal between the cast bronze cover and body of the strainer housing on Perko's Fig. 0493 intake water strainer line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerko intake water strainers are built for easy installation and cleaning, with mounting lugs cast into both sides for universal mounting, four outside tie rods, and a 316 stainless steel strainer basket to minimize electrolysis. Hinged lugs on the cast bronze cover permit easy removal and cleaning of the strainer basket, and a drain plug in the bottom casting allows sediment to be removed and the unit drained for winterizing. Over time the cover gasket compresses and hardens, so keeping a cork spare gasket kit on hand lets an owner reseal the strainer cover during routine cleaning or winterizing without waiting on a special order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is sold as the gasket only, for use with Perko 1\/2 inch and 3\/4 inch intake water strainer units, and is identified by Perko part number 0493DP599M.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0493DP599M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spare gasket kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch and 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perko intake water strainer (cover gasket)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gasket kit only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 085226338731\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat pipe sizes does the Perko 0493DP599M gasket kit fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 0493DP599M gasket kit fits 1\/2 inch and 3\/4 inch pipe size intake water strainer units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 0493DP599M gasket made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e This gasket kit is made from cork construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 0493DP599M kit include the strainer basket or cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 0493DP599M is a gasket kit only and does not include the strainer basket, cylinder, or cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the Perko 0493DP599M kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit includes the replacement cork gasket for a Perko intake water strainer cover, and nothing else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Perko strainer does the 0493DP599M gasket fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the spare gasket for Perko intake water strainers sized for 1\/2 inch and 3\/4 inch pipe, matching Perko's Fig. 0493 strainer line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need a replacement gasket for my intake water strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e The cover gasket on a Perko intake water strainer compresses and hardens over time and use, so a spare cork gasket like the 0493DP599M lets you reseal the cover during cleaning or winterizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 0493DP599M gasket genuine Perko or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a genuine Perko part, identified by Perko part number 0493DP599M.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow heavy is the 0493DP599M gasket kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 0493DP599M gasket kit weighs 0.25 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this gasket when winterizing my boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, replacing the cover gasket with the 0493DP599M kit is a good step when cleaning or draining the strainer for winterizing, since the drain plug and cover are opened during that process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the strainer basket need to be removed to replace the gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The cast bronze cover on a Perko intake water strainer has hinged lugs for easy removal, allowing access to fit the 0493DP599M gasket during cleaning of the strainer basket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991103975643,"sku":"PKO-493DP599M","price":23.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/493DP599M__62721.1780061501.500.750.jpg?v=1785188144","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/perko-0493dp599m-spare-gasket-kit-for-1-2-and-3-4-intake-water-strainer-cork","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
