Abstract

A gasket assembly for sealing between a first component and a second component, the first component having a main cavity separated from a secondary cavity by at least one wall, the at least one wall having an aperture formed therethrough, includes a device configured to extend through the aperture. An aperture sealing insert is molded around a portion of the device, the aperture sealing insert sized and shaped to fit into the aperture. An aperture seal is disposed about an outer perimeter surface of the aperture sealing insert, the aperture seal configured to seal against surfaces defining the aperture. A gasket baseplate is configured to be disposed over the aperture sealing insert between the first component and the second component to fluidly seal the main cavity from the secondary cavity while enabling the device to pass through the aperture.
