Abstract
A gasket (201) includes one or more elastomeric sections (301, 305, 307) disposed on a metal substrate (303). An elastomeric ring (307) has an inner diameter (309) that is smaller than an outer diameter of a fastener (205). When the fastener (205) is inserted into the ring (307), the fastener (205) and gasket (201) are retained to each other. When a flange (101) for a device, such as an oil pick-up tube (100), is disposed between the fastener (205) and the gasket (201), the gasket (201) and fastener (205) are retained to the flange (101).
