Perko intake strainers protect raw water pumps and engine cooling systems by filtering debris before it enters the intake line, and the strainer housing relies on a proper gasket seal at the cover to keep the system watertight while still allowing the cover to be opened for cleaning. This kit supplies the replacement gasket needed when servicing the strainer or when the original gasket has hardened, cracked, or lost its seal over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gasket is made of cork, a traditional sealing material valued for its compressibility and ability to conform to mating surfaces on cast bronze strainer housings. Because the strainer cover is designed for easy removal to access and clean the stainless steel strainer basket, the gasket is a wear item that should be kept on hand or replaced whenever the cover is serviced. This is a gasket kit only and does not include the strainer housing, basket, or cover.\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 0493DP999M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2 inch, 2 inch, 2-1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 085226338779\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFits Perko intake water strainer units in 1-1\/2 inch, 2 inch, and 2-1\/2 inch pipe sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat pipe sizes does the Perko 0493DP999M gasket kit fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Perko 0493DP999M gasket kit fits 1-1\/2 inch, 2 inch, and 2-1\/2 inch pipe size intake water strainer units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Perko 0493DP999M gasket made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of cork, which is chosen for its ability to compress and conform to the cast bronze strainer housing to create a watertight seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 0493DP999M kit include the strainer housing or basket?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 0493DP999M is a gasket kit only and does not include the strainer housing, cover, or stainless steel strainer basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should the strainer gasket be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e The gasket should be replaced any time it is removed for cleaning the strainer basket and shows signs of hardening, cracking, or loss of seal, since the cork gasket is a wear item on Perko intake water strainers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Perko 0493DP999M gasket genuine Perko or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 0493DP999M is a genuine Perko part, manufactured to fit Perko's own line of intake water strainers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many gaskets come in the 0493DP999M kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit contains one unit count of the cork gasket for Perko intake water strainers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat shape is the Perko 0493DP999M gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The gasket is round in shape, matching the round cover of the Perko intake water strainer housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Perko 0493DP999M gasket kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 0493DP999M gasket kit weighs 0.1 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does a Perko intake water strainer need a gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The gasket seals the removable cover of the strainer housing, which is designed to be opened for cleaning the stainless steel basket, so a proper seal at the 0493DP999M gasket is needed to keep the system watertight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Perko 0493DP999M gasket kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Perko 0493DP999M cork gasket kit is 085226338779.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991104073947,"sku":"PKO-0493DP999M","price":40.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Perko-Intake-Water-Strainer-Cork-Gasket-Set__71686.1722379709.500.750.jpg?v=1785188017","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/perko-0493dp999m-cork-gasket-kit-for-1-1-2-2-and-2-1-2-intake-water-strainers","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
