ABSTRACT:
A gasket assembly includes a gasket body and a separate gasket seal. The gasket body includes first and second opposing faces, at least one seal opening therein and a plurality of attachment openings. The gasket seal includes a plate having a body portion defined by and outer periphery of the plate, with at least one fluid flow opening therein and a plurality of attachment elements integral with the outer periphery of the plate. Each attachment element extends radially outwardly from the outer periphery of the plate and includes a trunk and transversely extending wings that terminate in tips. The gasket seal is received within the seal opening of the gasket body with the trunk of each attachment element in abutting relation with the first opposing face of the gasket body. The wings extend through the attachment opening and the tips are then bent into facing relation with the second opposing face, thereby securing the gasket seal within the gasket body.
