Applications & Industries

EPDM Sealing Washers are bought for a small number of well-defined jobs. These are the ones we ship them for. Stocked from No.8 (4.2 mm) to M10 (nominal bolt size).

Industries that specify EPDM Sealing Washers

  • Roofing & cladding Fixings that must keep water out.
  • Automotive service Service items replaced at every oil change.
  • Hydraulics & fuel systems Banjo bolts, sump plugs and pressure fittings.
  • Rotating & vibrating plant Spring, tooth and wedge types that maintain or lock bolt tension.
  • Steel fabrication Spreading load under a head or nut and protecting the surface finish.
  • Machine building & OEM Setting bearing area on soft alloy, plastic and oversized holes.

Typical applications

  • crush washers are single use by design
  • sealing a threaded fitting against pressure
  • protecting a painted or plated surface under a turned nut
  • maintaining bolt tension in a joint that settles
  • spreading clamp load over a soft or oversized bearing face

Service conditions to specify against

Marine and coastal
Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
Sealed joints
Used where the fixing has to keep water or air out as well as hold — the elastomer, not the fastener, decides service life.
Exterior structural
Hot-dip galvanised options for external steelwork; allow for the thicker coating in the mating thread.
Hardness matters
Under a high-strength bolt a soft washer embeds into the joint and preload is lost — specify a hardened washer for structural bolting.

EPDM Sealing Washers conform to Industry standard. As washers, they are specified by the dimensions in the table below; this page also covers materials, finishes and typical uses.

What Are EPDM Sealing Washers?

EPDM Sealing Washers are washers defined by Industry standard. They are selected by nominal bolt size and the dimensional characteristics shown below, and are available in a range of materials and finishes to suit the application and environment.

Materials & Finishes

Common materials include carbon steel (typically zinc plated or hot-dip galvanized), hardened or case-hardened steel where wear matters, and stainless steel A2 (304) or A4 (316) for corrosion resistance. Specify the material, hardness where relevant, and the surface finish appropriate to your application and environment.

Pricing

EPDM Sealing Washers are supplied to order. Pricing starts from approximately US$0.040 per piece for standard sizes in carbon steel; final pricing depends on size, material, finish and order quantity (MOQ applies). Submit your exact configuration with the quote form above.

Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing

Need a EPDM sealing washers outside the standard range?

Bore, outside diameter, thickness, temper and finish are the variables here — there is no thread to specify, so the fit and the bearing area are what the drawing has to pin down. Made by stamping or punching.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

  1. Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine
    01

    Cold heading

    Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

    Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.

  2. Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads
    02

    Thread rolling

    Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

    Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.

  3. Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment
    03

    Heat treatment

    Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

    Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.

  4. Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket
    04

    Surface treatment

    Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

    Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.
