A Tyseal gasket is a rubber gasket used for joining cast iron soil vent (SV) pipes into a hub, providing a secure, watertight, and gas-tight seal. It is commonly used in drainage and venting systems, especially in cast iron plumbing installations. Tyseal gaskets are designed to fit snugly into the hub of the pipe, ensuring that the connection remains leak-proof, even under pressure or thermal expansion. Proper installation involves lubricating the gasket and inserting it into the hub, followed by the insertion of the pipe. Regular inspection of Tyseal gaskets helps maintain the integrity of cast iron plumbing systems.
