Semi-rapid is the name used for the medium sized burner on most gas cooktops, sitting between the small auxiliary burner and the larger rapid or wok burner. The gasket seals the joint at the tap so gas can only go where it is meant to. We have no model list for it, so match it against the old gasket or your appliance details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the gas tap gasket matters on your cooktop\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery gas tap has to seal tightly where it joins the gas rail or burner supply, and this gasket does that job for the semi-rapid burner. Gaskets harden and flatten with heat and age, and they rarely survive a tap being taken off, so a new one is normally fitted whenever the tap is removed or replaced. A smell of gas near the controls, a hiss from under the cooktop or a leak found during a service are all reasons to have the seals checked straight away. Turn the gas off and get a licensed gas fitter in if you suspect a leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 4055563565\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGasket for the gas tap on the semi-rapid burner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeals the tap connection on gas cooktops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo model list on file, compare with the old gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBurner position\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSemi-rapid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho should fit this gasket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Australia, work on gas appliances must be done by a licensed gas fitter. They will isolate the gas supply and power, remove the tap, fit the new gasket and leak test every joint before the cooktop goes back into use. Never reuse a squashed or cracked gasket. If the cooktop has more than one tap of this size, it is worth asking the fitter whether the others need doing too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a semi-rapid burner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the medium output burner on a gas cooktop.
