Installation/Set-Up Challenges for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Fibre Washers

When using Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) fibre washers, common installation or setup challenges may include:

  1. Proper Sizing: Ensuring the washer size matches the fastener for a secure fit.

  2. Material Compatibility: Verifying that EPDM washers are suitable for the specific application and compatible with the substances they will come into contact with.

  3. Tightening Torque: Over-tightening can cause deformation, while insufficient torque may lead to leaks or loose connections.

  4. Surface Preparation: Ensuring the mating surfaces are clean and free from debris to prevent sealing issues.

  5. Temperature Limitations: EPDM washers have temperature limitations, so ensuring they are not exposed to extreme temperatures beyond their operating range.

  6. UV Exposure: EPDM may degrade over time from prolonged exposure to UV radiation, so proper protection or periodic replacements may be necessary in outdoor applications.

Ensuring proper installation procedures are followed, and addressing these challenges proactively can help optimize the performance and longevity of EPDM fibre washers in various applications.
