These are a must for thermowells on a speidel fermenter. They do wear out over time as expected.
If you're using either the stainless steel dip-tube or dip-tube with thermowell with your Speidel fermenter, you need this. The flat rubber washers don't cut it. This is an actual gasket that fits around the perimeter of the base plate for a leak-free fit. The dip-tubes would get much better reviews if they came with this gasket instead of it being a separate item.
Had to be a detective to order this. It should be listed as "you may also need" .
Struggled getting a good seal with the standard seals, these solved the problem, must have.
Will these work on the plastic spigots for the 7.9 gallon fermenter for a better seal?
I have this on my 7.9 gallon speidel and it fits great. I’m using a metal dip tube with thermowell attached to a ball valve.
Hi Daniel - The mentioned gasket is not compatible with the 7.9 gallon fermenter. If you have any additional questions or concerns please contact us by phone or email.
What are the dimensions of this gasket?
Hi I can't answer this question since they are mounted in the tanks and the tanks are full. I can say that they worked as advertised.
I do not know what the dimensions are but I do know that you need these gaskets if you are to use items #FE740 FE741 FE742 FE745 FE746. You will need a locking ring FE785. I use FE741 FE745 (2)FE772 and (2) locking rings from FE785 on my 15GA. Speidel plastic fermenter. I control my fermentation with an Inkbird and a blowoff tube.
I have to add the 3rd gasket OD 1-3/4 ID 1-1/4. I forgot about this one on my earlier reply.
I measure 1-3/4" OD and approximately 1-5/8" to inside of flange pocket in it's resting state. It's silicone so it stretches a bit to accommodate the flange. I use it on the thermo well adapter with no issue. One word of caution is to not overtighten or gasket will compress and rip.
I am not sure which gasket one is OD 1-5/8 ID 1-3/8 the other is OD 1-1/4 ID 1. I have the original that came with the plastic spiget and then got the other when i ordered the racking arm.
