Claim Text:
1. A sealing element for sealing between planar surfaces comprising, in cross-section, a body and a first sealing part, the first sealing part providing a sealing face, the first sealing part being connected to and angularly and resiliently displaceable relative to a first surface of the body; wherein in cross-section, the sealing element further comprises a second sealing part providing a sealing face, the second sealing part being spaced from the first sealing part and extending substantially perpendicular from the first surface of the body; wherein in cross-section, the sealing element further comprises a third sealing part, the third sealing part being formed similarly to the first sealing part, the third sealing part being connected to and inclined at an angle to a second surface of the body opposing the first surface of the body; wherein in cross-section, the first sealing part, in an unbiased state, is angled toward the second sealing part; and wherein in cross-section, the sealing element is substantially symmetric along its centreline.
