Faucet Rubber Gasket

About Faucet Rubber Gasket

The faucet rubber gasket is an indispensable small part in the faucet, generally located at the water outlet of the faucet. The main function of the faucet rubber gasket is to play a sealing role, which can effectively prevent the faucet from flowing, and at the same time greatly reduce the wear and tear of the faucet and prolong the service life of the faucet.

Introduction

The faucet rubber gasket is a seal used at the interface between the faucet and the pipe, usually made of rubber. Its main function is to prevent water or liquid leakage and ensure the sealing performance of faucets or pipe connections.

The faucet rubber gasket has two functions: one is to prevent the faucet from turning, because the countertop is smooth and has no grip, and the faucet will loosen after a period of time. The second is waterproof. There is always water on the faucet table, and it is easy to leak from the corridor cabinet at the junction of the faucet and the table. After there are rubber gaskets, it will not leak.

Choose The Right Faucet Rubber Gasket

The faucet rubber gasket is a part used to install under the faucet to prevent water leakage. A suitable gasket can effectively prevent the faucet from leaking and avoid water damage to the walls and floors. Generally speaking, the materials of faucet gaskets mainly include rubber, EPDM and silicone materials. Here’s a description of the materials in question:
1. Rubber gasket: Rubber gasket has good acid and wear resistance, good sealing performance, and relatively favorable price, suitable for daily use at home.
2. EPDM gasket: EPDM gasket has good high temperature resistance, is not easy to age, does not contain heavy metals, and has a long service life. It is suitable for areas with high water quality requirements, such as hospitals and laboratories.
3. Silicone gasket: Silicone gasket has good sealing performance, strong acid and alkali resistance, and long service life. It is a good choice for daily use at home.

Precautions For Using Faucet Rubber Gasket

1. Regular replacement. Even if the rubber gasket of the faucet is not broken or worn, it should be replaced regularly within a certain period of time to ensure the normal use of the faucet.

2. Pay attention to cleaning. During normal use, the cleaning of faucet rubber gasket should be strengthened to avoid blockage caused by garbage.

3. Avoid being too tight or too loose. When installing the gasket, you need to master the right amount of strength to avoid water leakage due to tightness or looseness.

4. Do not use chemicals. Do not use chemicals such as bleach or acidic liquids to clean the faucet and the rubber faucet gasket.

5. Prevent items from falling. Prevent large objects from hitting the rubber gasket of the faucet during use, and do not place heavy objects under the faucet to avoid crushing the gasket.

6. Avoid overuse. Avoid excessive closing or opening of faucets to reduce pressure on faucet gaskets.

The above points are the precautions for the use of faucet rubber gasket. Therefore, the correct use and maintenance of faucet gaskets will help our daily life to run smoothly.

Application Of Rubber Gasket

Rubber gaskets have natural elasticity and heat resistance, and are mainly used in drinking water, automobiles, pharmaceuticals, food, machinery and other fields. Its scope of application is as follows:

1. Drinking water industry: sealing of faucets, water purifiers and other water outlet equipment.

2. Automotive industry: Sealing of heaters, coolers, exhaust pipes, fuel pumps, engines and transmissions.

3. Pharmaceutical and food industries: sealing of water treatment and food processing equipment and pipelines.

4. Mechanical industry: sealing of pressure vessels, pipelines and various sealing devices.
