It’s a new day! Some reasons to make the switch from a metal to a graphite pressure seal.

1. It’s the perfect replacement for any metal seal.

Thermafoil® flexible graphite is the perfect direct-replacement for any metal pressure seal. With our proprietary process we engineer every VSG Pro, using valve body and bonnet component dimensions. So, the installer is working with a pressure seal of sufficient strength, integrity and proper mass, guaranteed. For 20 years, EGC has engineered and manufactured graphite pressure seals for each application and has never had a failure.

2. It’s so easy to replace.

With metal, the seal becomes one with the valve and it can do big-time damage to the bonnet cavity. The Thermafoil VSG Pro won’t fuse to the valve components. You just lift it out and replace it with another. It’s compressible and conformable and works in oversize, out-of-round, steam cut and pitted bonnet cavities without welding, grinding or refinishing.

3. You can save 75% on installation.

Based on customer supplied data, it takes roughly 14 hours to replace a metal seal. This includes time to machine the metal seal and the valve cavity. But replacing a Thermafoil VSG Pro pressure seal takes only 6 hours and that includes tear down and reassembly. That’s a savings of 8 hours (or 75% depending on how you look at it). Imagine the time you’d save replacing 25 bonnet seals!

4. And when you need it in a hurry, there’s Fastrack!

Normal turnaround for a Thermafoil VSG Pro pressure seal is 48 hours. But when you’re in a hurry, you may want to go with EGC’s Fastrack expedite program. The engineers, manufacturers and shippers at EGC can get you the graphite pressure seal you need now in as little as 12 hours (in the USA). That’s quick!
