24096-250C – Eaton Aeroquip LLC Gasket for Embraer ERJ-145
Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.
Overview
The Eaton Aeroquip 24096-250C is a genuine OEM, flight-critical Gamah™ metal seal, an advanced sealing component engineered for the high-performance fluid and pneumatic systems of the Embraer ERJ family of regional jets. This is not a conventional gasket or O-ring; it is a precision-manufactured, pressure-actuated static face seal designed for zero-leakage performance in the most demanding aerospace environments. Fabricated from high-temperature superalloys, the 24096-250C is essential for maintaining the integrity of critical fuel, hydraulic, and bleed air system connections where elastomeric seals would fail.
Key Features
Gamah™ Pressure-Actuated Sealing: The seal features a unique, lightweight, U-shaped metal channel containing two opposing, flexible sealing lips. This design uses the system's own internal pressure to energize the seal, creating a tighter seal as system pressure increases.
Zero-Leakage Performance: Engineered to provide a "bubble-tight," zero-leak seal, which is critical for the containment of flammable fuels, high-pressure hydraulic fluids, and superheated bleed air.
Extreme Temperature & Pressure Capability: Manufactured from a high-strength, temperature-resistant superalloy (such as Inconel). This allows the seal to maintain its integrity and sealing force across an extremely wide range of temperatures and at very high system pressures where elastomers would be destroyed.
Superior Reusability: Unlike single-use crush gaskets or elastomeric seals, Gamah™ metal seals are designed to be reusable a specified number of times (in accordance with the aircraft maintenance manual), providing a lower life-cycle cost.
Genuine OEM Component: As a genuine part from Eaton Aeroquip, specified by Embraer, it guarantees the correct material composition, dimensions, and performance characteristics required for a flight-critical sealing application on a transport-category aircraft.

High-Temperature/High-Pressure Joints: The primary application is sealing flanges and fittings in environments that are too hot or too high-pressure for standard O-rings.
System Overhaul & Repair: A key component to inspect and replace as required during the overhaul of hydraulic pumps, valves, and bleed air system components.
Why Choose 24096-250C?
A leak in a high-pressure bleed air, fuel, or hydraulic line on a jet aircraft is a critical emergency. The Eaton Aeroquip Gamah™ seal is an advanced engineering solution designed to provide the highest possible level of sealing integrity. Using a genuine OEM 24096-250C is the only way to ensure the part is made from the correct certified superalloy and has the precise dimensions and spring-like characteristics to perform this flight-critical function reliably. For the most demanding sealing applications, there is no substitute for this proven technology.Order Your 24096-250C Seals Now

The Eaton Gamah™ 24096-250C seal is a self-energizing seal. It is installed in a groove between two flat flanges. The U-shaped channel of the seal provides an initial light spring force, creating a preliminary seal. When the system is pressurized, the fluid or gas enters the U-shaped channel. This internal pressure acts on the two opposing lips of the seal, forcing them outward with immense force against the two flange faces. The higher the system pressure, the harder the seal lips are forced against the sealing surfaces, creating a seal that is dynamically responsive to system conditions. This design provides an extremely high-seating stress on the sealing line, allowing it to maintain a seal even on surfaces with minor imperfections and across a vast range of temperatures that would cause a standard O-ring to shrink or expand and lose its seal.
Note: This is a flight-critical sealing component. Installation must be performed by a certified A&P or AME mechanic in strict accordance with the current Embraer maintenance manual. Sealing surfaces must be meticulously clean, and free of nicks and scratches. The seal must be installed without being bent or damaged.
