Powr-Flite Motor Gasket, 3/...
$19.99
Product details
Part X1990 is a motor mounting gasket cut 3/4 in. thick, listed for the Powr-Flite 72855A-115.1 motor. Powr-Flite catalogues that motor as an Ametek 6.6 in., two-stage, 115 VAC extractor vacuum motor.
This gasket goes between the motor face and its mounting surface, closing that gap so intake air follows the ducting the machine was engineered around instead of leaking past the joint, while also cushioning the motor where it seats against the housing. Getting the thickness right matters more than most gaskets, because it controls how deep the motor sits in its mount and how much squeeze the fasteners put on the seal, so swapping in a thinner or thicker piece throws off both the airtightness and the mounting load.
Old gaskets rarely come off in one piece, so plan on a fresh one whenever this motor is pulled rather than ordering it as an afterthought. Clean the mounting surface of old gasket material completely before fitting the new one, and tighten the mounting fasteners evenly in a criss-cross pattern rather than one at a time around the perimeter, so the gasket compresses flat instead of pinching to one side.
