ABSTRACT:
A gasket assembly is provided for fluid couplings. The gasket assembly includes a gasket having an outer circumferential surface including arc segments defining a minor outside diameter and a plurality of ears projecting outwardly from the arc segments to define a major outside diameter for the gasket. The gasket assembly further includes a split cylindrical sleeve having a plurality of slots disposed and dimensioned for loosely receiving the ears of the gasket. The sleeve and the gasket are dimensioned such that the ears project outwardly beyond the tube to define gripping protrusions that facilitate mounting and removal of the gasket assembly onto the coupling component.
