Plumbing O-Ring Kits Available
International Seal supplies plumbing O-ring assortments designed to support domestic, commercial and industrial water-system maintenance. Kits may contain commonly required dimensions or be configured around specific equipment, operating temperatures and sealing requirements.
General Plumbing O-Ring Assortment Kits
General plumbing O-ring kits provide selections of commonly used sealing dimensions for the maintenance of compatible taps, valves, fittings and water-handling components. These assortments can support replacement requirements across plumbing equipment where elastomer O-rings are specified, offering an organised selection of dimensions for repair and servicing work.
EPDM Water O-Ring Kits
EPDM O-ring kits contain ethylene propylene diene monomer sealing rings, commonly specified for applications involving water, weathering and ozone exposure. Suitable EPDM grades provide resistance to hot and cold water, making them relevant to plumbing equipment, water-handling assemblies and selected heating applications.
Hot and Cold Water O-Ring Kits
Hot and cold water O-ring assortments can be configured using materials selected for the intended operating temperatures and water conditions. These kits may support maintenance of suitable water fittings, valves, pumps and circulation equipment. Material selection should consider temperature cycling, pressure and any applicable drinking-water requirements.
Tap and Valve O-Ring Kits
Tap and valve O-ring assortments provide replacement sealing selections for compatible plumbing fittings, mixer assemblies, valves and related components. Kits can contain selected metric dimensions or customer-specified sizes, depending on the equipment and original sealing arrangement.
Custom Plumbing O-Ring Kits
Custom plumbing O-ring kits can be configured around customer-specified dimensions, elastomer compounds and quantities. These assortments are suitable for plumbing equipment manufacturers, maintenance contractors and distributors requiring defined replacement sealing selections for particular products or applications.
Plumbing O-Ring Kit Materials
Plumbing O-ring assortments can be specified using different elastomer materials depending on the operating temperature, water conditions and equipment requirements.
| Material | Typical Plumbing & Water Applications |
|---|---|
| EPDM | Hot and cold water systems, heating equipment, plumbing fittings and suitable potable-water applications |
| NBR (Nitrile) | Selected pumps, water-handling equipment and compatible industrial fluid systems |
| Silicone | Specialist water-system components, temperature-sensitive applications and suitable drinking-water equipment |
| FKM (Viton) | Specialist industrial water-handling equipment and applications involving compatible chemicals or elevated temperatures |
EPDM is commonly selected for water-system sealing due to its resistance to water, ozone, weathering and environmental ageing. However, not all EPDM compounds are suitable or approved for drinking-water contact.
The suitability of any elastomer depends on its individual compound formulation, operating temperature, pressure and exposure conditions. For drinking-water applications, the specific compound must meet the relevant material requirements and have appropriate supporting documentation.
Potable Water O-Rings and WRAS Requirements
O-rings used in contact with drinking water may be subject to specific regulatory and material requirements intended to protect water quality. In the UK, BS 6920 provides a testing framework for assessing the effects of non-metallic materials on water intended for human consumption.
WRAS Material Approval can provide evidence of compliance with the relevant water quality requirements for approved materials and components. Not all standard plumbing O-rings or EPDM compounds carry these approvals.
Where potable-water contact is required, the exact compound, approval status, permitted temperature range and supporting documentation must be confirmed. International Seal can review water-contact sealing requirements and available material documentation as part of the quotation process

A plumbing O-ring kit is an assortment containing elastomer sealing rings in different dimensions for plumbing maintenance, water-system servicing and equipment repair. Kits may contain general-purpose sizes or application-specific sealing components.
What material is best for plumbing O-rings?
EPDM is commonly used for plumbing and water-system applications because suitable compounds provide resistance to hot and cold water, ozone and weathering. However, material selection must consider operating temperature, pressure and any drinking-water compliance requirements.
Are plumbing O-ring kits suitable for drinking water?
Plumbing O-ring kits may be configured using materials suitable for drinking-water contact. However, not all O-rings are approved for potable-water applications. The specific compound and supporting approval documentation must be confirmed before use.
What is a WRAS-approved O-ring?
A WRAS-approved O-ring is an O-ring covered by an appropriate WRAS Material Approval demonstrating compliance with the applicable BS 6920 water quality requirements. Approval applies to the specified material or component and its defined conditions of use.
Can plumbing O-ring kits be used for hot water?
Suitable plumbing O-ring assortments can contain materials designed for hot-water applications. The correct compound should be selected according to the operating temperature, pressure and equipment requirements.
Are EPDM O-rings suitable for heating systems?
Suitable EPDM compounds are commonly used in water-based heating systems. However, compatibility with system additives, inhibitors, temperature and operating conditions must be confirmed.
