  • 1.  DME Manway gasket

    Posted 11-22-2019 11:11
    Hi all, I've recently been experiencing wort leakage from our lauter manway due to worn out gaskets. Its circular roughly 19 3/8 in d or 49cm from the outside rim.  Does anyone know of the style and or where to source a DME compatible gasket of the like?
    Thanks.

    Hi Jacob,

    Try Archon Industries in NY. I believe DME source/have sourced manway components from them, at least with the DME brewhouses I have worked on.

    brewerygaskets.com also offers hundreds of styles and sizes of aftermarket manway gaskets. That would be a good place to check also.

    Thanks all, looks like Archon has the style im looking for also had a welder repair the flange and has since stopped the leaking.

    Brewery Gaskets has always been great for me.  Go to the manway gasket section and you can filter down based on tank manufacturer, style, etc.  They even show the cross-section of the manway gasket and how to measure so you can double check against what you currently have.

    brewerygaskets.com  They have just about anything you are looking for.  They can also custom make a size and gasket if they don't have one in their inventory.  We have a DME system and have gotten new Fermenter manway gaskets and Mash Tun manway gaskets from them.
