What is the differance between the O-ring and the gasket?

For blender and pressure cooker, we always call it "gasket", which is made of rubber. O-ring is a more general term used in engineering, it can be made of material other than rubber.

Loosely for this product, the terms may be used interchangeably. An O-ring is Normally comprised of a round rubber material formed looped into an "o" shape. Gasket material is normally flat and in this case shaped into an "o". Gaskets seal two flat surfaces while an O-ring seal off two devices in which one slips inside of the other.

If you don't use it on the rubber o-ring, the o-ring will not seat properly, resulting it a leak. I know this because I didn't use it and had a leak that was resolved by using the grease.

Last year i try to install this pump kit on JDM 2009 STI. i use fuel pump only. reuse O-ring. coz. new O-ring is fitting failure (very tight).1. O-ring size is looks like same. but little bit different. please return to original place.2. i prefer buy fuel tank rubber gasket.3. Do not strongly tighten a tank cover bolt.

The male half is dimensionally the same for the new and old part. The only difference I can see is the knurled section is smaller on the new male halves. I used a new female end with an old male end this winter. It worked for a while but the o-ring failed and it didn't just drip, it was a mess.

I don't know. I bought it because I could not find the gasket for my Cuisinart SmartPower Duet blender. Later, though, I found the old gasket. So I compared the two by holding them right up against each other. They are two slightly different shades of grey, but they are exactly the same size.

I don't know. We had one of the ones that is listed on the page. I will say this, a small necessary gasket was torn when we got our, and they replaced it PRONTO. Very impressed with seller.

No, this is the gasket that seals off one of the hoses to either the pump or the filter, or maybe both. The o-ring gasket that goes in the plunger is round, and not stepped.

Not an o ring. it's a seal. As from the factory. O ring is in the other guys package. It comes with all you need and fits great.

no you don't need both as they are the same thing. You can call it a gasket or an o ring or a seal.

A new water pump o-ring seal was included in the kit I received. I also used some gasket sealant (Ultra-Blue) when I installed it.

Do you mean the o-ring? its ok but put some antifreeze (coolant) on it to make it slippery enough to install the pump without damaging the rubber

Does not come with the drain plug gasket. Does come with the o-ring to seal the filter to the crankcase.

It is an integral cartridge assembly with the seals built in. You just remove the old cartridge and replace with this one. No extra o-rings needed. Works like a charm.

This is an upgrade from the original. At least it is different form the original. It did come with a new gasket if I remember correctly. I put it in about a year ago. My engine has been running smooth ever since.

Yes mine came with the o-ring gasket. It's nice to have the part time light working again. I'm very happy with this part.

Mine was no problem either , did not pay much attention to the o ring gasket. I also added a thin layer using my finger across the whole ring with RTV as was recommended by my auto parts shop.

Neither. The lid fits on using a rubber gasket. Works great, no sign of any break down in the many years I have owned these.
