Attachment of Paraclip Gaskets
Non-glued Paraclip gaskets are an alternative to glued in gaskets that simplifies on site
re-gasketing. The gaskets have a series of small nubs or projections molded into the
underside of the gasket. These projections fit into corresponding slots located around
the periphery of the plate and port areas, securing the gasket to the plate (Figure 46).
When the plate heat exchanger is tightened, a complete and secure seal is assured.
To attach a Paraclip gasket, the gasket is laid out on the plate in its correct position. The
projections are firmly pressed into the corresponding slots in the plates. After installing
the gasket, the plate may be immediately installed in the frame in preparation for
tightening.

Attachment of EasyClip Gaskets
Non-glued EasyClip gaskets are an alternative to glued in gaskets that simplifies on site
re-gasketing. To attach the gasket, apply a pressure to expand the 2 tongues into 2
slots in the plate. The barbed effect (fishhook) secures the gasket to the plate, in fact it
now takes more force to remove the gasket than to apply it. These tongues fit into
corresponding slots located around the periphery of the plate and port areas, securing
