Rubber Washers

Rubber washers are a flat disk with a hole in the middle that is used as a way to distribute a load, spacers, wear pads, method of locking a seal, or reduce vibrations. The dimensions of a rubber washer are determined by their outer diameter (OD) and inner diameter (ID), which vary according to the use of the washer.

When rubber washers are used for pipe connections, they generally serve as a means of preventing leaks and help to secure the joint or connection. Rubber washers are chosen for a variety of conditions because they form a tight seal.
