Kit contains gaskets for the Flange Isolation Joint which is an important component of the assembly and is included in this kit from Phyllis Lucius's blog

It is critical to protect the flanges of a pipeline from corrosion caused by electrochemical corrosion in order to prevent damage to the pipeline from occurring. The use of flange isolation kits in conjunction with other measures can help to prevent (electrolytic) corrosion of flanged joints and flanges, which can be caused by static currents in the piping system itself.

Using Type F rounded-flange isolation gaskets (of the ring type) in conjunction with raised-face flanges (RF) is a common practice in the construction industry. The external diameter of an F type gasket is smaller than the surface area of the Blind pipe flanges face shown in the illustration, in contrast to the surface area of the Threaded Flange face in the illustration.

In order to construct each one, phenolic sheets that are 1/8 inch thick were used. Alternatively, they can be coated or left uncoated; alternatively, they can be coated with nitrile rubber on both faces in order to give the appearance of a nitrile rubber coating, as shown in the photograph. A high-isolation-capacity fiber that is not derived from asbestos is also available for use in Type F gaskets, and these fibers can be used as an alternative to asbestos-based fibers.

Weld Neck Flange Insulation Kit (Full Face) for Type E Flanges is available.

A further advantage of Type E gaskets (also known as full-face gaskets) is that their outside diameter is equal to the diameter of the Affordable Socket Weld Flange Supplier, which means that they are large enough to completely cover the surface area of the Slip on pipe flanges. Type E gaskets are available in a variety of sizes. Type E gaskets are used to seal the ends of flanges, as well as the ends of pipe joints, among other applications.

Their designation as RTJ flanges (styles R, RX, and BX) is based on the fact that they are intended to be used in conjunction with the RTJ flanges and their ring joint groove. API ring joints, which are made of phenolic material and are referred to as Type D gaskets, can be purchased from a variety of suppliers.

An easy-to-use kit containing insulation for Type O flanges.

A variety of phenolic and polyethylene resins are used to construct insulation sleeves, depending on the application and specifications.

Installing a gasket kit is usually a simple process if you know what you're doing and have the proper tools. Here are some things to keep in mind before you begin the installation process, which are listed in the following section:

To begin, check that the flanges and bolt holes are coaxially aligned with one another prior to moving forward with the installation process. The space between the flanges must have a diameter of at least 10 mm to be considered adequate. Put great care into inserting and aligning the gasket into the opening, making sure that it is parallel to the surface that it will be sealing up against. On the gasket or pipe flange surface, the use of jointing compounds, lubricants, and greases is strictly prohibited. There are no exceptions to this rule. If the compounds have an effect on the friction between the gasket and the socket weld pipe flanges, it is possible that the joint will fail sooner than it should have. This is known as premature failure.

In order to prevent corrosion, it is recommended that lubricant be applied to the nut and bolt threads as well as the nut face prior to tightening the nut to the specified torque. Using a turn of the nut, the steel washer, insulation washer, and insulation sleeve are secured to the bolts, ensuring that the steel washer is kept close to the nut at all times (see illustration). With the help of the nut, the bolts should be threaded through the holes in the wood. The use of a hammer must be avoided at all costs due to the potential damage it will cause to the sleeves.

It is critical to use a calibrated torque wrench or another tool that has control functions in order to ensure that the torque is accurate. The torque recommendations will allow you to complete the assembly in a reasonable amount of time. Whenever working with the symmetrical cross drawing, it's important to remember that it's important to keep the nut tight at all times.
