Gaskets
BS6180:1999 (specification for guardrail in and around buildings) states
that when Aluminium comes into contact with concrete the aluminium
surface should have at least 2 coats of Bituminous paint applied.
The simple alternative is to use a standard Kee Lite rubber gasket.
For highly corrosive environments, stainless steel grubscrews are available at a small additional charge. Kee Lite aluminium fittings are designed to suit BS EN 755 tube.
