Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace the group gasket?

As a general guide, replace the group gasket every 6–12 months depending on usage. High-volume machines may need more frequent replacement. Silicone gaskets typically last longer than rubber alternatives due to their heat resistance.

Why is this gasket yellow?

Yellow is the standard colour coding for high-temperature silicone group gaskets. The colour helps technicians quickly identify the gasket material during servicing.
