Vicarb V170 Chevron Plate Heat Exchanger Gasket Manufacturer

DESCRIPTION

The Vicarb V170 gasket is at the heavy-duty end of the V Series — the kind of component that turns up in systems where the operating conditions are genuinely tough and downtime has a real cost attached to it. District heating networks, large marine installations, continuous industrial process lines — that’s the typical territory for a unit this size.

Material options include NBR, EPDM, HNBR and HT EPDM. The HT EPDM is worth noting specifically , it handles higher temperature hot water circuits better than standard EPDM, which makes it a practical choice for district heating and similar applications where temperatures push the limits of conventional compounds. If you’re not sure which material fits your system, the operating temperature and fluid type are usually enough to narrow it down quickly.

Replacement plates in stainless steel, titanium and SMO are available for the same model when a full refurbishment makes more sense than gasket-only replacement.

We also carry gaskets and plates across the wider Vicarb V Series — V13, V28, V45, V60, V85, V100, V130 and V280 — so if you’re managing multiple Vicarb units on site, it’s usually possible to cover everything in a single order.
