Arctic Hayes Fibre Washer Kit 330 Piece - Multicolor

These washers are ideal for general plumbing repairs such as fixing dripping taps, replacing worn seals in stopcocks, and general maintenance on low-pressure water systems. They are particularly useful for older plumbing where fibre washers are standard.

The product description does not specify maximum pressure ratings. Fibre washers are generally best suited for low to medium pressure applications. For high-pressure systems, consider specialized rubber or EPDM washers.

The kit provides a mix of metric and imperial sizes. You can measure the old washer or the space it fits into using a ruler or caliper. The red fibre washers have specific metric dimensions listed in the product description.

The color often indicates a specific type or size within a manufacturer's range, but it's best to rely on the dimensions provided rather than color alone for proper identification.

Fibre washers can typically withstand moderate temperatures, but specific limitations are not provided. For consistently high hot water temperatures, rubber or silicone washers might be more durable.

This kit contains 330 pieces covering common sizes. For less common or highly specific sizes, you may need to purchase specialized washer assortments or individual parts from a plumbing supplier.

Store the kit in its original compartment case in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is securely closed to prevent dust and moisture from affecting the washers and to keep them organized.

Double-check the measurement against the part needing replacement. Ensure you are using the correct type of washer (e.g., standard fibre vs. ball valve seating).

Verify the washer is seated correctly and is the appropriate size. Check for other damaged components in the assembly (e.g., valve seat, pipe thread) that may also need replacement.

Inspect the washers carefully before use. If any are misshapen or showing signs of wear, do not use them. Contact the retailer if the kit arrived in poor condition.
