GASKET BREAKER ELBOW .125 THICK SANTOPR

All restaurant equipment has protection from short circuits or power overloads that could damage the internal power supply or cause a fire. Fuses and circuit breakers are two commonly used mechanisms for overload protection. Overload protection can be automatically enabled in response to high pressure or high temperature situations. Circuit breakers may be manually activated to interrupt the flow of electricity for the purpose of planned equipment maintenance or serviceable repair.

An elbow is installed between two lengths of pipe (or tubing) to allow a change of direction, usually a 90° or 45° angle; 22.5° elbows are also available. The ends may be machined for butt welding, threaded (usually female), or socketed. When the ends differ in size, it is known as a reducing (or reducer) elbow.

Gaskets are used in restaurant equipment to create a seal between two surfaces, such as between the door of a refrigerator and the frame or between two pieces of metal in a gas range. The gasket helps to prevent leaks of air or liquids, as well as to maintain a consistent temperature inside the equipment. Gaskets are often made of rubber or other flexible materials that can withstand heat and cold and maintain their shape over time. They are used in a wide variety of restaurant equipment, including refrigerators, freezers, ovens, and steam tables and are also commonly used in plumbing for equipment and sinks.
