Abstract
A gasket for sealing between a mating surface of a first mating component and a second mating component includes a sealing body defined by an inner and outer peripheral edges from which a plurality of integral formable inner and outer tabs extend therefrom. The inner tabs are deformed into an engagement position to assist in properly locating the gasket on the mating surface and to engage the first mating component to retain the gasket on the mating surface in proper alignment. Similarly, the outer tabs are deformed into an engagement position over an outer peripheral edge of the mating surface to retain the gasket on the mating surface in proper alignment.
