The FDA Red Silicone Washer is a high-performance sanitary seal designed specifically for 1/2" BSP (British Standard Pipe) threaded connections and drain assemblies. Precision-cut to 1.062" Outer Diameter and .785" Inner Diameter, this washer provides a superior, leak-proof compression seal in food and beverage environments. Unlike standard rubber gaskets, this silicone elastomer is engineered to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and aggressive sanitizing chemicals without becoming brittle or losing its elasticity, making it the ideal choice for brewing kettles, fermentation tanks, and commercial beverage dispensers.

  • Material: FDA-Compliant Food-Grade Silicone
  • Color: High-Visibility Red (Easy to identify during maintenance)
  • Dimensions: 1.062" OD x .785" ID
  • Compatibility: Optimized for 1/2" BSP threaded fittings and drain seals
  • Temperature Range: Superior thermal stability for hot-side brewing and steam cleaning
  • Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oils, acids, and common brewery sanitizers
  • Flexibility: High durometer rating ensures a tight seal under moderate torque
Technician's Note: This silicone washer is a "soft-seat" seal, meaning it does not require excessive force to stop a leak. Over-tightening a silicone gasket can cause it to "squish" out of the fitting or tear. For 1/2" BSP drain assemblies, hand-tighten plus a quarter-turn with a wrench is usually sufficient. Because silicone is non-reactive, these red washers are the preferred choice for stainless steel equipment where "galvanic bonding" or rubber-to-metal sticking can occur with cheaper EPDM gaskets.
