Fitall Lamb Ametek Motor Gasket 5.7'' # 566

Great fit

I was rebuilding my 23 year old Broan central vacuum. From the factory, both motor gaskets were installed incorrectly, off center which explains the dust that always accumulated around the unit. I ordered two new motors and needed gaskets. By my mistake, I only ordered one gasket. I installed the new gasket on the lower motor which was very thick, about 3 times the original. The top motor I used RTV silicone. After assembly, I turned on the unit. The bottom motor was not running, locked due to the gasket being too thick and applying pressure against the impeller. I had to remove the gasket and seal the motor with RTV. Had I paid closer attention prior to assembly, the new gasket would have been fine for the upper motor. For my application, the gasket didn't work. It was a quality made gasket. I just wish I could have used it in the correct location.

Bwe sure to odder when replacing Lamb Ametek motor.

This is an easy decision to replace this casket. While you're changing the motor, it is worth $8.00 to replace this part. They all wear out eventually. So replace the gasket when the motor needs to be replaced.

works like a champ!!

Does its job and beats trying to cut a piece of foam to work.

Performed well

Exact replacement on our 35 year old Filtex central vac! When motor #2 goes we'll order this gasket again, knowing it will fill the bill perfectly!
