EPDM gaskets play a crucial role in creating reliable, leak-free joints within ABS pipework, ensuring long-term performance even in demanding environments. Manufactured from ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM), these gaskets offer excellent elasticity, long service life and strong resistance to UV exposure, wear, and adverse weather conditions. This makes them an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor installations, particularly where water or mild chemicals are conveyed.
Designed for compatibility with ABS flanges and backing rings, each gasket provides a secure and consistent sealing interface once bolted in place. For a complete installation, remember to select the correct flange, backing ring and bolt set before checking out.
Types of EPDM Gaskets Available
To suit different flange standards and installation requirements, three variations are available:
EPDM Stub Flange Gasket
A compact sealing ring used between an ABS stub flange and backing ring
Ideal for standard ABS systems where a raised-face style seal is preferred
Creates a durable seal while maintaining minimal joint thickness
Commonly used in both imperial and metric ABS installations
EPDM Gasket Full Face PN10/16 (BS EN 1092-1)
A full-face gasket with bolt holes around its perimeter to align with PN10/16 flanges
Provides maximum sealing surface and excellent joint stability
Suitable for systems built to BS EN 1092-1 drilling patterns
Useful for applications where flange rigidity and even load distribution are essential
EPDM Gasket Full Face D & E (BS 10 Table D/E)
Designed to suit ABS flanges drilled to BS 10 Table D/e standards
Full-face design with accurately positioned bolt holes
Ideal for legacy systems, specific industrial applications or matching existing BS 10 pipework
Ensures a consistent and reliable seal when paired with ABS full-face or blank flanges
Why Choose EPDM for ABS Flange Connections?
Strong resistance to ageing, ozone and outdoor exposure
Excellent flexibility and resilience across a wide temperature range
Suitable for water and many non-aggressive fluids
Provides a dependable long-term seal with minimal maintenance
