WRAS-approved Gaskets

No.WRAS-approved Gaskets
WRAS-approved gaskets are high-performance sealing components specifically designed for use in potable water systems where safety, hygiene, and regulatory compliance are critical. These gaskets are manufactured using carefully selected elastomer materials that have been tested and certified to ensure they do not adversely affect water quality, taste, or odor.

Description

Certified Sealing Solutions for Safe Potable Water Applications

Designed for reliability in long-term service, WRAS-compliant gaskets provide secure sealing performance under varying pressure and temperature conditions commonly found in water distribution and plumbing systems.

High-Quality Material Options

We supply WRAS-approved gaskets in a range of certified elastomers suitable for drinking water applications:

  • EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) – the most widely used material for potable water systems, offering excellent resistance to hot water, steam, and aging
  • Silicone (VMQ) – suitable for applications requiring high temperature resistance and long-term flexibility


All materials are manufactured under controlled formulations to ensure consistent compliance and traceability.

Standards & Certification

Our WRAS-approved gaskets are tested and certified under strict UK potable water regulations, including:

  • WRAS – certification ensuring materials are safe for contact with drinking water
  • Compliance with BS 6920 – testing for the suitability of non-metallic materials in contact with water intended for human consumption
  • Full traceability and batch-level certification available upon request
  • Materials may also be supplied with supporting compliance to EU 1935/2004 and FDA 21 CFR 177, where required for export applications

Key Performance Advantages

  • Certified safety for long-term potable water contact
  • No impact on taste, odor, or water clarity
  • Excellent resistance to chlorine, hot water, and aging
  • Stable sealing performance under dynamic pressure conditions
  • Suitable for both static and light dynamic sealing applications
