Detailed Description

This Walker exhaust flange gasket is engineered for exhaust repair points where a 3-bolt flange connection must be sealed securely. The 2.125-inch by 2.125-inch port opening and 2.75-inch bolt-hole center spacing support proper alignment at the flange joint, while the fiber and metal laminate construction helps create a stable seal under exhaust heat and vibration.

This part cross-references Anchor 8710 for the same application.
