While these washers are designed for hydraulic systems, they are specifically optimized for the pressures and temperatures found in brake banjo fittings. Compatibility with power steering lines should be confirmed with the power steering system manufacturer's specifications, as pressure and fluid types can differ.
The best method is to consult your vehicle's service manual for the specific banjo bolt size or to measure the existing washer and bolt. You can also visually compare the washers in the assortment to your banjo bolt to find the best fit.
It is strongly recommended to use a new copper washer every time a banjo fitting is disconnected and reconnected. The copper deforms and 'sets' on the first compression to create a seal. Reusing a washer may result in a poor or leaking seal.
Assorted means the box contains a variety of different sizes of copper washers. This is to cater to the different sizes of banjo bolts commonly found in hydraulic brake systems.
Store the washers in a clean, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a sealed container, to prevent dust, dirt, and excessive moisture exposure. This helps maintain their condition for optimal sealing.
Copper can develop a patina or tarnish when exposed to air and moisture, but this surface oxidation does not typically compromise its sealing capability for this application. Proper storage minimizes excessive corrosion.
Verify that the correct washer size was used and that it is properly seated. Ensure the banjo bolt is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Check that both the banjo bolt and the sealing surface on the component are clean and free from damage. Consider replacing the washer if it appears deformed or damaged.
This indicates an incorrect size has been selected. Refer to your banjo bolt and fitting specifications to choose the correct washer from the assortment. A washer that is too loose will not seal, and one that is too tight may not seat properly.
Ensure no debris is present in the threads. Check that the washer is not obstructing the bolt's path. If the bolt still binds, inspect the threads on both the bolt and the component for damage. Do not force the bolt; this could strip the threads.
Setup:
These copper washers are designed to be used as direct replacements for existing sealing washers on hydraulic brake banjo fittings. Ensure the mating surfaces of the banjo bolt and the component (e.g., caliper, master cylinder) are clean and free from debris or damage before installation. Place the washer onto the banjo bolt, then insert the bolt through the brake line's banjo eyelet and into its respective port. Tighten the banjo bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque. Do not overtighten, as this can deform the copper washer and potentially damage the threads or component.
Compatibility:
This assortment is specifically designed for use with hydraulic brake system banjo fittings. They are generally compatible with most standard automotive and motorsport banjo bolt sizes. It is crucial to verify that the inner diameter of the washer matches the banjo bolt and that the outer diameter seals effectively against the component's face. Always refer to your vehicle or component manufacturer's service manual for precise specifications.
Care:
Store the copper washers in their original packaging or a clean, dry container to prevent contamination and corrosion. Copper can tarnish over time when exposed to air, but this typically does not affect its sealing ability for this application. Avoid storing them with abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the surface. For best results, use new washers for each connection to ensure optimal sealing performance.
