Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a gasket for a fluidic seal. Some embodiments include a flush valve to a toilet tank, where the gasket has a raised center portion and lowered inner and outer portions. In some embodiments, the gasket includes a plurality of recesses, troughs or grooves. Each of the three portions of the gasket has a bottom groove that can permit deformation and increases sealing capabilities when the groove either widens or narrows. Additionally, some embodiments include an inner support ring that extends inwardly from the lowered inner portion, and can center the gasket onto the flush valve.
