Can a gap seal protect against higher liquid levels?
Can a gap seal protect against higher liquid levels?
There is no chance for a Gap Seal to protect against higher liquid levels and a pressure gradient between inside and outside of a Non-Contact Seal. Pressure gradients may be reduced or throttled but not sealed.
What’s the distance between non contact gap seals?
You should use a distance ring of at least 0.5 mm in between the seals. If heavy splashing liquids are expected, one may prepare drain hole located between both outer rings; in this case a minimum distance of 3 mm between both seals should be used.

What do you need to know about GMN gap seals?
The GMN Gap Seal is mounted from two plastic parts, which create a zig zag shaped gap based on a conic envelope. Peaks and valleys of the inner and outer ring profiles (turned by the same tool) merge when snapped together during the mounting process. The gap seals are shipped to you as an inseparable unit.
How are gap seals pressed on a shaft?
Axial and radial clearance of the seal are almost the same – approximately 0.5 mm. Both interfere each other. GMN Gap seals are pressed onto the shaft with a certain press fit. Due to centrifugal forces the inner ring could lift off of the shaft.
When is the seal height greater than the sealing gap?
Preloading is achieved when the seal height is greater than the sealing gap. During compression of machine parts, seal elasticity is deformed, spurring internal stressors forcing both the top and bottom sealing gap to close. Subsequential fluid pressure is attributed to additional internal stress, fomenting preloading and leakage prevention.
What can I use to seal gaps in my Sink?
Keep a wet wipe or paper towel nearby to wipe off the nozzle and wipe up any drips. Once the GREAT STUFF has cured, trim off any excess with a serrated blade if necessary. Have you checked under your sinks or around your foundation lately? Buy a can of GREAT STUFF and seal all the gaps.

What can I use to fill in gaps in my pipes?
Spray GREAT STUFF into the gaps around your pipes. Do not overfill as GREAT STUFF expands as it cures. Keep a wet wipe or paper towel nearby to wipe off the nozzle and wipe up any drips. Once the GREAT STUFF has cured, trim off any excess with a serrated blade if necessary.
