Gasket Ricom EPDM DN80 for PP piping system (MPN 31080)

Gasket Ricom EPDM DN80 for PP piping system is a rubber sealing ring designed for use with DN80 polypropylene pipe connections. Manufactured from EPDM material, this gasket provides a flexible, durable seal that resists water and common non‑aggressive media encountered in drainage and plumbing applications. The profile fits standard DN80 sockets and couplings in PP piping systems, ensuring proper joint sealing for household and light commercial installations.

Advantages

The EPDM composition offers good elasticity and rebound, maintaining sealing performance across normal temperature ranges used in plumbing and drainage. The gasket is resistant to swelling and deformation in contact with water and typical non‑aggressive liquids, which helps reduce the risk of leaks over time. Its design simplifies installation into PP fittings and provides consistent compression and sealing even where minor misalignment or surface irregularities are present.

Suitable for

• Sealing DN80 polypropylene pipe joints in household drainage systems
• Use in commercial washroom and sanitary installations with PP piping
• Repairs and maintenance of DN80 PP connections in plumbing networks
• Vertical and horizontal drainage runs where EPDM compatibility is required

Key specifications

• Material: EPDM rubber
• Nominal diameter compatibility: DN80
• Intended pipe material: polypropylene (PP)
• Application type: sealing for sockets, couplings and fittings
• Resistance: water and common non‑aggressive media

How to use

Before installation, inspect the gasket for visible damage or contamination. Ensure pipe ends and fitting sockets are clean, dry, and free from burrs. Lubricate the gasket lightly with water or a manufacturer‑approved installation lubricant if needed to ease assembly into the PP socket. Insert the gasket into the fitting groove or socket evenly, then assemble the pipe joint according to standard PP piping practices, maintaining axial alignment and avoiding excessive mechanical deformation of the gasket during insertion. After assembly, verify the joint for correct seating and perform a pressure or leak test appropriate for the system.

Usage recommendations

Use this EPDM gasket only with compatible PP piping and non‑aggressive media. Do not expose the gasket to strong acids, solvents, or oils that are incompatible with EPDM. Store spare gaskets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources to preserve elasticity and service life.
