Abstract

A gasket which may be cast in place within a concrete structure, such as a manhole riser or septic tank, for example, to seal a connection between a pipe and the concrete structure. The gasket includes a main body portion and a sealing portion which are made from different materials. The main body portion may be made of a substantially rigid material, such as a semi-rigid plastic, for example. The sealing portion, which is united with the body portion, may be made of a substantially resilient material, such as flexible plastic or a rubber-type material, for example. In this manner, the substantially rigid portion of the gasket provides for effective anchoring in a cast wall, and the substantially resilient portion is compressible to provide a robust seal with a pipe that is inserted through the gasket.
