rubber gasket

Watertight flexible ring

A rubber gasket is a flat ring or shaped piece of rubber used to create a watertight or airtight seal between two surfaces, typically where pipes or mechanical parts join: The leak was caused by a worn rubber gasket.

Gaskets compress when tightened, filling gaps and preventing fluids or gases from escaping.
