TUFF-RAIL® Manway Lid Gaskets for Rail Tank Cars

Featuring raised sealing ribs and an unlimited shelf life, Garlock’s TUFF-RAIL Manway Gaskets are ideal for heavy vibration and thermal cycling.
TUFF-RAIL Manway Gaskets create a tight seal, even in less-than-ideal bolting conditions and after multiple cycles.
Leveraging our industry-proven GYLON® material, TUFF-RAIL manway lid gaskets incorporate raised sealing features that protect against creep and cold flow. TUFF-RAIL gaskets prevent leaks, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations.
Reusable, crush-resistant and engineered to a single size, TUFF-RAIL gaskets fit the most common manways (AAR-1, UTC-1, TRN-1), simplifying gasket selection and inventory requirements.
