Trojan G-10 gasket kits are designed to keep any and all electrical currents from running back to the water meter. Stray electrical currents can interfere with various types of meters, such as radio read or electronic read meters. Most of these currents are generated from the very structure they are metering. By using the Advance Products & Systems (APS) Trojan gaskets it is possible to keep the meter isolated from these currents and protect the electronic equipment.

The elastomer sealing element of the APS Trojan G-10 gasket is encapsulated in the electrically isolating retainer. The encapsulation of the sealing element allows only micro-exposure of the seal to potable water flow.

Trojan gaskets are ideal for solving flange isolating problems when combined with isolating sleeves and washers, offering design and corrosion engineers the maximum flexibility of piping system design and cathodic protection control. When used as sealing gaskets throughout a piping system, positive leak-free flanged joints can be assured.

By installing the Trojan gaskets without isolating sleeves and washers, a continuous electrical path can be maintained in the system. When the corrosion engineer needs to isolate a section of the system, this can be done quickly and without a line shut down by simply removing one bolt at a time in a flange and reinstalling it with isolating sleeves and washers.

Trojan G-10 gaskets with Nitrile or ethylene propylene diene monomer single or quad seals have been NSF/ANSI standard 61 approved for potable water. This approval is for all devices, components and materials that contact drinking water.

NSF certifies crucial aspects of drinking water system components. It addresses whether contaminants that leach or migrate from the product and/or material into the drinking water are above acceptable levels in finished waters.
