The lube usually keeps it from comming out, that and the fact that the channels are (on most multi's) deep enough, some recommend glue, but I disagree. If you want to secure the gasket, I recommend some silicone caulk, (yesterday I went to a pool to replace the grids and the 'spider gasket' - the d*mned thing had been CRAZY GLUED in and getting it out with a screwdriver only damaged the unit) So instead of just replacing the gasket, I had to give them a whole new multiport - we never did get all the glued in gasket out.
