EPDM Rubber Washers for Vibration Isolation and Protection
EPDM Rubber Washers are designed to provide reliable sealing, cushioning and vibration isolation across a wide range of construction and industrial applications. Manufactured from durable EPDM rubber, they help reduce vibration, minimise noise transmission and prevent direct contact between metal components.
These rubber washers are commonly installed beneath brackets, supports, pipe clips and fixing systems where a resilient barrier is required. They are also effective for separating dissimilar metals to reduce the risk of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis).
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, EPDM offers excellent resistance to weathering, moisture and ozone, making these washers ideal for long-term use in HVAC, plumbing, roofing and general construction projects.

Why Use Rubber Washer?
Rubber washers are a simple but effective solution for protecting components and extending the life of an installation. By introducing a resilient rubber barrier between surfaces, they absorb small vibrations while helping prevent wear caused by repeated movement.
EPDM rubber also provides excellent environmental resistance, making it a popular choice for external applications exposed to sunlight, rain and changing temperatures.

Rubber Washer FAQs
Find answers to common questions about EPDM rubber washers, vibration isolation, corrosion prevention and construction applications.
What are rubber washers used for?
Rubber washers are commonly used to reduce vibration, cushion fixings, provide sealing and prevent direct metal-to-metal contact in construction, HVAC and plumbing installations.
What are the advantages of EPDM rubber washers?
EPDM rubber offers excellent resistance to weathering, UV exposure, ozone and moisture, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications while maintaining long service life.
Can EPDM washers help prevent galvanic corrosion?
Yes. A rubber washer can separate dissimilar metals, reducing direct contact and helping minimise the risk of galvanic corrosion (electrolysis).
Are EPDM washers suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. EPDM is highly resistant to sunlight, rain, ozone and weathering, making it an excellent choice for external building and mechanical service applications.
Where are rubber washers commonly installed?
They are commonly installed beneath brackets, pipe supports, HVAC equipment, roofing fixings, mechanical services and general construction hardware where vibration reduction or cushioning is required.
