Perko 0493DP799M Cork Spare Gasket Kit for 1 Inch and 1-1/4 Inch Intake Water Strainers

The Perko 0493DP799M is a spare gasket kit built for Perko intake water strainers in the 1 inch and 1-1/4 inch pipe size range. This kit supplies the cork gaskets used to seal the strainer's clear polymer cylinder and cast bronze cover against the bronze body, restoring a tight seal after routine maintenance or when the original gaskets have hardened or worn out from age and exposure to raw water.

Perko intake water strainers are designed for easy installation and cleaning, with mounting lugs cast into both sides for universal mounting, four outside tie rods, and a stainless steel strainer basket to minimize electrolysis. Hinged lugs on the cast bronze cover allow the strainer basket to be removed and cleaned without disturbing the plumbing, and a drain plug in the bottom casting lets sediment be drained out easily, including for winterizing. Keeping the sealing gaskets fresh is part of that maintenance routine, and the 0493DP799M kit is the correct spare part for restoring those seals.

This kit is made of cork, the same material used in the original strainer assembly, and is sized to fit the 1 inch and 1-1/4 inch pipe size versions of the Perko intake strainer line.
