Frequently asked questions
Is this gasket a perfect match for my MDT Harvey Aquaclave 20?
Yes, this RPI MDG013 Door Gasket is specifically engineered to be compatible with the MDT (HARVEY) Aquaclave 20. It serves as a direct replacement for OEM Part #280000301, ensuring your equipment maintains the necessary seal integrity required for proper sterilization.
Does this gasket meet precise size specifications?
Absolutely. To ensure an airtight seal within the chamber, this gasket is manufactured with exact dimensions:
- Outer Diameter (OD): 8.500 inches
- Cross-Section (C/S) Diameter: 0.210 inches
These dimensions are critical for maintaining the pressure and temperature required for your sterilization cycles.
Should I replace my autoclave door gasket regularly?
Yes, maintaining the door seal is vital for the performance of your autoclave. You should inspect your current gasket and replace it immediately if you notice:
- Visible signs of cracks, hardening, or brittleness.
- Loss of steam or pressure during the sterilization cycle.
- Any visible leakage around the chamber door.
Is this a brand new, high-quality replacement part?
Yes, this product is supplied as Factory New. It is manufactured by RPI to meet rigorous standards, ensuring you receive a reliable component that will perform consistently in your medical or laboratory sterilization equipment.
Is this the correct part number for the Harvey Aquaclave 20?
Yes. This item is identified as RPI Part #MDG013, which corresponds directly to the OEM Part #280000301. Using the correct part number ensures you are getting a component designed specifically for your equipment’s sealing mechanism.
Does this gasket fit other sterilization equipment?
The RPI MDG013 is specifically designed for the MDT (HARVEY) Aquaclave 20 model. It is not a universal gasket; its dimensions are precision-engineered for this specific chamber mechanism to ensure proper fitment and performance.
Is this an OEM-equivalent quality part?
RPI components are designed as reliable, high-quality alternatives to OEM parts. This gasket matches the original OEM Part #280000301 specifications, providing a dependable solution for maintaining your autoclave’s function without compromising on quality.
How important is the cross-section size for my autoclave?
The 0.210-inch cross-section (C/S) is crucial. It dictates how the gasket compresses against the chamber door. If the gasket is too thin, the seal will fail; if it is too thick, the door may not latch properly. This replacement part adheres strictly to the dimensions required for the MDT (HARVEY) Aquaclave 20.
What is the primary function of the MDG013 gasket?
This gasket is an essential component of the chamber sealing mechanism. It creates a hermetic seal that allows your autoclave to reach the necessary internal pressure and temperature for safe and effective sterilization, preventing steam leaks during operation.
Does this part arrive ready to install?
Yes, the RPI MDG013 is supplied as a single, ready-to-use component. As a Factory New item, it is intended for direct installation into your MDT (HARVEY) Aquaclave 20 once you have removed the worn-out seal.
