RUBBERSEAL PRO 110 —
EPDM and SBR flat gaskets selected by SKU
TBG-coded sizes use EPDM 80 Shore and GGM-coded sizes use SBR 70 Shore in the current product mapping. Their temperature and compatibility envelopes differ. Select the exact SKU first; do not carry an EPDM claim across the whole family.
Documentation scope: Approval, compliance and certification references apply to the documented material grade, supplier certificate or listing, and stated test conditions unless a product-specific certificate says otherwise. A cut gasket size is not automatically certified as a separate product just because it is made from a documented material. For regulated applications, confirm the current certificate or listing scope, exact grade, medium, temperature, pressure and market requirement before specifying.
Selection rule: Use RUBBERSEAL only after the exact SKU's EPDM or SBR material and service envelope have been confirmed.
Use this when: TBG EPDM sizes for compatible water or outdoor duties, or GGM SBR sizes for compatible general water duties within their lower temperature range.
Do not use this when: do not use a family-level claim for oils, fuels, gas, steam, regulated water or temperature; verify the exact EPDM or SBR SKU and use a documented alternative where its envelope does not fit.
Move to the next material when: the medium needs oil or fuel resistance, the duty needs higher continuous temperature, or the application requires gas or industrial approvals.
What it is
RUBBERSEAL PRO 110
RUBBERSEAL PRO 110 is the elastomeric flat-gasket family in the Kinetics Line system. Current SKU data includes EPDM 80 Shore variants and larger SBR 70 Shore variants, so material and temperature must be verified per SKU rather than inferred from the family name — distinct from all five fibre composite series in both material behaviour and the service conditions it is suited for.
Where fibre gaskets seal through the behaviour of a sheet composite under controlled stress, the RUBBERSEAL elastomer grades seal by elastic deformation and recovery. The following EPDM-specific statements apply to TBG-coded EPDM SKUs, not automatically to GGM SBR sizes. Elastomer deformation may help on serviceable surface variation within the intended joint geometry, but the exact EPDM or SBR compound, squeeze and load still control performance. A damaged or out-of-tolerance face is corrected; it is not routed automatically to RUBBERSEAL, FLEXSEAL or any other softer material.
The current mapping gives TBG EPDM sizes a -40°C to +110°C temperature range and GGM SBR sizes a -20°C to +70°C range. Pressure suitability still belongs to the exact gasket, joint geometry and equipment duty; do not assign one family-wide pressure limit from the brand name.
Material split: TBG-coded SKUs are mapped as EPDM 80 Shore; GGM-coded SKUs are mapped as SBR 70 Shore. Approval or food-contact status is not inferred from either polymer name. Verify the current supplier document, pack SKU and listing scope before regulated use.
Why rubber — not fibre — for these applications
The Kinetics Line system contains five fibre composite gasket series. Each is engineered for controlled compression against a clean, machined flange face under defined bolt load. They are usually the correct choice for those conditions. They are not suitable for every sealing situation.
Rubber gaskets behave differently. The key differences in service:
Where RUBBERSEAL PRO 110 is used
Water supply & plumbing
Hot and cold water connections, flat-face BSP unions and other fittings specifically designed for a flat elastomer washer. Flexible sealing on common threaded water connections where surface conformity is more relevant than the rigidity of a fibre gasket.
Outdoor & garden
For outdoor taps, garden hose connections and irrigation manifolds, use a TBG-coded EPDM SKU where its dimensions, temperature range and documentation fit. Do not substitute a GGM SBR size solely because it shares the RUBBERSEAL family name.
HVAC & building services
General water connections in HVAC systems, fan coil units, air handling equipment. Low bolt load and flexible sealing for non-critical connections within the temperature range.
Heating — low temperature circuits
radiator or valve connections only where the joint is explicitly designed for a flat elastomer washer and the exact SKU range fits: up to +110°C for mapped TBG EPDM sizes or +70°C for mapped GGM SBR sizes. For high-temperature heating above 110°C, the specification moves to GREENSEAL PRO 180 or BLUESEAL ULTRA 350.
Industrial — general water and air
Water and air service where the fitting needs elastic recovery and EPDM compatibility. Minor surface marks may be tolerated, but damaged faces still need proper correction or a different gasket strategy.
Regulated applications — verify grade
FDA-compliant grades may be available within the EPDM range for food-contact and sanitary applications. Compliance should be verified against the specific grade specification before specifying for regulated use.
When to use it — and when not to
Where RUBBERSEAL makes sense
- Water fittings where the exact EPDM or SBR SKU, temperature range and any required listing scope are suitable
- Outdoor fittings where a mapped TBG EPDM SKU and its documentation fit the duty
- Garden irrigation and outdoor water connections
- HVAC connections within the operating range
- Low bolt load fittings where conformity matters more than rigidity
- Heating-water joints explicitly designed for the selected elastomer and within that SKU's range
- Applications with minor surface marks or limited bolt load, not damaged-face repair
When RUBBERSEAL is not the answer
- Gas service — specification moves to a DVGW-documented fibre series such as BLUESEAL ULTRA 350
- Oils, fuels or solvents without compound-specific compatibility data for the exact SKU
- Steam, or temperature above the selected SKU's +110°C EPDM / +70°C SBR range
- Chemical service — assess the exact compound against medium, concentration and temperature
- Pressure-boundary service without a joint calculation and SKU-specific pressure evidence
Compatibility is compound-specific. Do not treat either the EPDM or SBR family member as a general oil, fuel, solvent, gas or steam gasket. For hydrocarbon duty, NBR is a common starting point but still requires grade-specific verification. Gas and steam work require the documentation and temperature-pressure envelope specified for the actual joint.
EPDM temperature range in context — not the SBR range
The mapped TBG EPDM range extends to +110°C, but that material limit is not an automatic joint rating. The following temperatures are orientation only; GGM SBR sizes stop at +70°C:
- Domestic hot water: typically 60–65°C at cylinder, lower at point of use
- Underfloor heating flow: typically 35–55°C
- Standard central heating flow: typically 70–80°C
- Pressurised heating systems: up to approximately 90°C flow temperature in most installations
- Garden irrigation and outdoor water: ambient to around 20°C typically
Above the exact SKU's published temperature range — +110°C for the mapped EPDM sizes and +70°C for the mapped SBR sizes — reassess the material and joint. Neither polymer should be treated as a steam gasket from the family name.

RUBBERSEAL PRO 110 is the elastomeric flat-gasket family: TBG EPDM and GGM SBR sizes with different service envelopes.
EPDM is often assessed first for compatible water and outdoor duties; SBR may suit selected general-water duties at lower temperature. In both cases the exact SKU, joint and supplier documentation control the decision. For drinking-water work, verify the exact EPDM grade and listing scope before specifying. Where the service exceeds the exact SKU envelope, involves oils, fuels or gas, or requires a specific approval framework, select a documented alternative for that actual duty. Each fits a different service envelope and should be selected against actual operating conditions.
