Inlet Gasket, Rietschle, V-VC, VC100, VC150, Part# 527601 – vacstellar

Rietschle VC100 and VC150 pumps are dependable for pulling vacuum in workshops, labs, and light industrial spots. They need every seal to do its job right to avoid leaks and keep running smooth. This rectangular gasket, part number 527832, is a key flat seal that goes in one of the main sections of the pump.

It is made from C-4401 – a tough compressed fiber material that stands up to oil and heat without falling apart. The size is roughly 11 inches long by 6 inches wide by 0.04 inches thick. When you put it in place and tighten the bolts, it compresses nicely to fill gaps and stop oil from dripping or air from sneaking in.

This gasket works on the VC100 and VC150 models in the V-VC family. These are oil-lubricated rotary vane pumps that give steady suction for many everyday jobs. You will see one of these in the gasket kits and the big major rebuild kits for these pumps.
