How do you cut a gasket from a gasket sheet?

• Trace the shape of the old gasket or flange directly onto the sheet.
• Cut along the outline with a sharp knife, scissors, or a die cutter—for large batches, a plotter is best.
• Drill the screw holes with a punch or hole saw, and gently smooth the edges.
• When installing, tighten the screws evenly, in a crisscross pattern, using the torque recommended for the specific connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Xtreme Plus panel contain asbestos?

No. Victor Reinz Xtreme Plus is an asbestos-free material that complies with applicable regulations.

What thickness of gasket sheet should I choose?

Thinner gaskets (0.3–1 mm) work well on smooth, rigid surfaces, while thicker ones (1.5–4 mm) better fill in unevenness and compensate for flange deformation. The easiest way is to measure your old gasket.

Need a different size or thickness?

We offer additional sizes and thicknesses of this material—and if you can’t find the size you need, write to us, and we’ll check if we can cut it to size.
