Gasket 13B0457 JCB, genuine

Gasket 13B0457 is a genuine JCB part for the JCB machines.

A gasket sits between the flat mating faces of two fixed parts and seals the joint. It fills small irregularities in the surfaces and stops oil, fuel, hydraulic fluid or gases escaping. Under heat and pressure a gasket hardens, compresses or cracks over time, and an aged gasket is the most common cause of leaks from covers and flanges.

Fitting
