American Biltrite's AB-576 EPDM compound is NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 & 372 certified for direct contact with drinking water — meaning every gasket, liner, or seal cut from this material meets the health-effects standard for water system components, from municipal treatment facilities to building plumbing infrastructure.

TIPCO Technologies stocks American Biltrite sheet and cuts it to your exact dimensions in-house. Stock sizes, custom profiles, full-face flanges, ring gaskets, and sheet cuts — all traceable to the same certified compound. No substitutions, no supply-chain ambiguity.

TIPCO Sealing Technologies — gasket and seal fabrication is a core TIPCO capability. Our fabrication team cuts NSF 61 EPDM sheet to water-jet, die-cut, and hand-cut profiles from stock or your drawings, typically same day.

END USES

WHERE NSF 61 EPDM IS REQUIRED

WATER METER GASKETS

Flanged and full-face gaskets for residential, commercial, and municipal water meters. NSF 61 certification is required at the point of meter connection in most jurisdictions.

POTABLE WATER TANKS

Manhole cover gaskets, access port seals, and flanged connection gaskets for atmospheric and pressurized potable water storage tanks.

PUMP & FILTER SEALS

Drinking water booster pumps, pressure filters, and carbon filter housings require NSF 61 certified elastomers at every wetted surface seal.

FLANGED PIPE JOINTS

Full-face and ring-type gaskets for ductile iron, PVC, and steel flanged pipe joints in municipal distribution — AWWA C111/C207 compatible.

HYDRANTS & VALVES

Fire hydrant and gate valve seat gaskets in distribution mains. EPDM's ozone resistance makes it the preferred compound for above-grade and UV-exposed applications.

TREATMENT EQUIPMENT

Chlorination systems, softener vessels, UV disinfection chambers, and membrane filter housings — any wetted component contacting drinking water.
