Drinking Water Gasket Materials
Blaylock Gaskets & Packing is an ISO 9001-2015 certified company. We supply municipalities and water treatment and distribution facilities with NSF 61 potable water gaskets designed for drinking water systems. We can custom manufacture gaskets for almost any need, from small fittings to large industrial pumps.
NSF 61 Standards for Drinking Water Systems
The standard known as NSF/ANSI 61 establishes requirements for controlling the chemical contaminants and impurities released into drinking water by its systems. NSF 61 does not relate to water taste, odor, or microbial contamination.
Materials that come into contact with drinking water or that could potentially contaminate it are covered by NSF standards. Some water system components regulated by NSF 61 include:
- Drinking water gasket materials
- Drinking water treatment systems
- Faucets and valves
- Pipes and fittings
- Water treatment gaskets
Gaskets used in any mechanical components or fittings of potable water systems must meet the requirements established by this NSF standard. All Blaylock NSF 61 potable water gaskets meet these criteria.
NSF 61 Potable Water Gaskets
While the Food and Drug Administration does not directly certify gaskets, it does certify gasket materials. Blaylock Gasket & Packing utilizes several FDA-certified materials to make food-grade gaskets, including our NSF-61 gaskets for potable water systems.
We make NSF 61 potable water gaskets from materials that meet the standard for leaching of lead, VOCs, and other chemicals. The NSF symbol indicates that all gaskets leach any contaminants below established safe levels.
Other considerations depend on the specific application you need gaskets for. For example, you may need drinking water gasket materials that have chemical or extreme temperature resistance. Silicone, nitrile, and ethylene propylene diene monomer are common gasket materials certified under NSF 61.
Applications for NSF Potable Water Gaskets
We routinely work with municipalities to ensure that drinking water systems use appropriate gaskets and seals. Other applications for our NSF 61 potable water gaskets include:
- Food and beverage manufacturers
- Pharmaceutical companies
- Point-of-use water filtration systems
- Private water purification systems
Within these industries, our gaskets are commonly used in plumbing connections, such as pipe fittings and valves, pumps, and potable water tanks. Fire systems connected to potable water supplies may also need NSF 61 certified gaskets.
