Sealing components for plumbing
Plumbing systems span drinking water, drain-waste-vent, hot water heating, and commercial industrial water service, each with materials matched to temperature, water chemistry, and regulatory requirements. Cannon Gasket supplies custom plumbing components to fitting manufacturers, valve makers, faucet OEMs, and commercial plumbing supply houses.
Where plumbing sealing shows up
- Faucet and fixture washers
- Hose gaskets and couplings
- Valve body seals
- Pipe joint sealing
- Shower and tub gaskets
- Pressure regulator diaphragms
Plumbing Sealing Applications
Faucet and valve service relies on EPDM and Buna-N flat washers and seat washers, while pipe fitting gaskets use EPDM (drinking water rated) and Buna-N at flange and union joints. Supply line and garden hose ends take EPDM and neoprene hose washers, and toilet tank flapper and fill-valve seals run in silicone and EPDM. Commercial backflow preventers and pressure regulators use EPDM and Viton seals where the application calls for regulated-environment performance. Material choice on each part follows the temperature, water chemistry, and potable-water rating the assembly requires.
Materials We Supply for Plumbing
For potable water service Cannon supplies drinking-water-rated EPDM grades, including peroxide-cured compounds chosen for low compression set, along with FDA silicone. Buna-N covers non-potable service, and neoprene suits supply line and hose applications. Where parts see high wear, polyurethane holds up better than standard rubber, and FDA HDPE and LDPE are available for molded and cut fitting components. Each grade is matched to the contact media and operating temperature of the specific plumbing program.
Production and Quality Considerations
Cannon recommends drinking-water-rated compounds with NSF / ANSI 61 awareness and runs fitting and valve programs on high-volume rotary and compound die cutting for consistent dimensions across large lots. Custom kitting supports service kits and repair programs, and pad printing adds part identification on aftermarket kits. Production runs under ISO 9001 certified processes with tight dimensional tolerances and custom packaging options.
