Triple-Sealed Gasket

There are many stops and door openings during a daily refrigerated delivery route, and often a low-pressure situation inside the truck body can frequently "suck," or pull the outside elements past traditional door seals and into the body. Now standard on all Johnson refrigerated truck bodies, the TripleSeal(TM) gasket is extremely effective in solving a special door-opening problem when there is a warm, humid ambient outdoor atmosphere, and a driving rain combined with a dry/very cold or frozen environment inside the truck body. With the TripleSeal gasket, the potential for heat and moisture to enter the body is reduced, significantly improving thermal efficiency. - Johnson Truck Bodies, a Carlisle Company, 215 E.
