Ansul 3/4 Hose Gasket 000670

The Ansul 000670 is a 3/4-inch hose gasket designed for use with ANSUL R-102 and Checkfire fire suppression systems, as well as the RedLine hand portable extinguisher series and the 150 wheeled/stationary extinguisher configurations. The hose gasket creates the pressure seal at hose connection points throughout the system's distribution piping and hose assemblies — preventing agent leakage at fitting junctions during both normal pressurized standby conditions and the high-pressure discharge event.

The 000670's cross-system compatibility — covering R-102 fixed suppression, Checkfire, RedLine portables, and the 150 wheeled unit — makes it one of the most broadly applicable ANSUL fire extinguisher parts gaskets in the service market. Fire protection contractors managing mixed ANSUL system accounts benefit from the 000670's multi-platform coverage, reducing the number of individual gasket part numbers that need to be stocked for comprehensive ANSUL service capability. The hose nozzle o ring and hose gasket family of ANSUL service consumables should be stocked together to cover all hose connection sealing positions encountered during service.

Available through authorized ansul distributors. Replace the 000670 at every scheduled hose disassembly during NFPA 10 and NFPA 17A internal examinations — never reuse a gasket after it has been removed from its sealing position. The gasket takes a compression set under service pressure over time and cannot reliably reseal after removal. Document gasket replacement on the extinguisher inspection tags or fire suppression system inspection record as applicable for the equipment type being serviced.

Replace the 000670 gasket at every hose connection disassembly during NFPA 10 internal examinations or NFPA 17A semi-annual service events. Clean the fitting seating surfaces before installing the new gasket. Torque the hose fitting to the ANSUL-specified torque after installing the new 000670 — over-torquing can extrude the gasket and under-torquing leaves insufficient clamping force for a leak-free seal. After reassembly, verify the connection is leak-free before returning the equipment to service. Document gasket replacement on the appropriate service record — extinguisher inspection tags for portable and wheeled units, fire suppression system inspection record for R-102 and Checkfire systems.

Is the 000670 the same as the fill cap gasket 006190?

No. The 000670 is a 3/4-inch hose connection gasket used at hose fitting junctions in R-102, Checkfire, and RedLine systems. The 006190 is a fill port cap gasket for the RedLine fill cap (17999). While both are ANSUL gasket components used on some of the same equipment, they serve different sealing positions and are not interchangeable. Always verify the correct gasket for each specific sealing location using the ANSUL parts documentation.

How many 000670 gaskets does a typical R-102 system service require?

The number depends on the R-102 system configuration and the number of 3/4-inch hose connections in the actuation and distribution assembly. Review the ansul r-102 nozzle chart and system as-built drawings to identify all hose connection points requiring the 000670.
