Rubber Washers

Rubber Washers are essential components within industries such as plumbing, electrics, mechanics and manufacturing. They are ideal for creating seals, dampening vibrations and and reducing noise levels.

Our Rubber Washers are made from Neoprene which is resistant to heat, weathering and chemicals. Neoprene is flexible which allows for a tight fitting seal around the application; preventing liquid from entering.

Core Applications of Rubber Washers:

Rubber washers find applications across a spectrum of industries; offering valuable sealing and cushioning solutions. In the UK market, some common applications include:

• Plumbing and Pipework: Rubber washers are widely used in plumbing applications to create compression seals in pipes and fittings, these can be made water tight and help to prevent leaks and ensure efficient water flow.
• Automotive Industry: In vehicles, rubber washers are utilised in engine components and various systems, providing sealing solutions in areas where vibrations and temperature variations occur.
• Electrical Equipment: Rubber washers serve as insulators in electrical equipment, preventing the passage of electrical currents and protecting components from damage.
• HVAC Systems: In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, rubber washers play a crucial role in sealing and insulating ductwork and components.
• Machinery and Manufacturing: Rubber washers are essential in machinery to dampen vibrations, reduce noise, and provide a cushioning effect in moving parts.

Bespoke and Custom Rubber Washers:

Our standard range of rubber washers covers a selection of sizes and materials. As part of our standard product catalogue, we offer rubber washers in Outer Diameters ranging from 3mm to 37mm. However, we understand that rubber washers are a niche product and specific projects will often require custom sizing.

We are therefore able to manufacture bespoke rubber washers that have been tailored to the unique requirements of your project. This incudes custom sizes, material choice, thickness, shore hardness and any appropriate certifications. Simply contact our team for more information.

Benefits of Rubber Washers:

Rubber washers offer several benefits in industrial and commercial settings, however many of these are also useful for small scale and personal projects:

• Sealing: Rubber washers provide effective sealing solutions, preventing leaks and can be used to create airtight and watertight connections.
• Vibration Dampening: Rubber washers help to absorb vibrations and shocks, protecting components from damage and reducing noise in machinery and equipment.
• Strong Resistance Properties: Depending on the rubber material used, these washers offer resistance to oils, chemicals, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures.
• Versatility: With various rubber materials available, our washers are versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications. We can find the right rubber washer for your use case.
• Easy Installation: Rubber washers are easy to install and require minimal adjustment, making them a convenient and reliable choice for securing valuable connections.
