FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the HCU48 washers?

The HCU48 washers have an internal diameter of .390 inches, an outer diameter of .590 inches, and a thickness of 18 gauge (approximately 0.047 inches).

What material are these sealing washers made from?

These sealing washers are made from copper.

How many washers are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 copper sealing washers.

Are these washers suitable for high-pressure applications?

Yes, copper sealing washers are generally suitable for moderate to high-pressure applications due to their ability to conform to surfaces and create a tight seal.

Can I reuse a copper sealing washer?

Copper sealing washers are designed to deform and create a seal upon initial tightening. While they can sometimes be reused, it's best practice to use a new washer for critical applications to ensure a reliable seal.

What industries typically use these types of washers?

These washers are commonly used in the automotive, agricultural, and engineering industries for sealing various fluid and gas systems.

How should I store these washers?

Store the washers in a clean, dry place away from moisture to prevent unnecessary oxidation and maintain their condition.

Troubleshooting

Leaking after installation

Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and flat. Verify that the correct size washer was used and that the fastener was tightened to the appropriate torque specification. Check for any damage to the washer itself.

Washer is difficult to install

Confirm that the washer's internal diameter matches the bolt or fitting accurately. Ensure there are no obstructions on the surface or the fastener. If it's excessively tight, re-check the measurements.

Visible corrosion on washers

Copper naturally oxidizes, which is a surface-level change and does not typically impede sealing function. However, if stored improperly, significant corrosion might occur. Store in a dry place. If corrosion is severe, consider replacing the washer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent sealing capability due to copper's properties.
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant.
  • Provided in a convenient pack of 100 for multiple uses.
  • Suitable for a variety of demanding industrial applications.
  • Precise dimensions ensure a proper fit for specified applications.

Cons

  • Specific sizing requires careful measurement before purchase.
  • Copper can be softer than steel, potentially deforming under extreme mechanical stress if not properly applied.
  • May not be suitable for extremely high-temperature applications where specialized materials are needed.
  • Not designed for single-use applications; requires proper installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the correct bolt or fitting size to ensure compatibility with the washer's internal and outer diameters.
  2. Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly to remove any dirt, debris, or old sealant.
  3. Place the copper washer onto the bolt or fitting before tightening.
  4. Tighten the fastener to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. The copper will deform slightly to create a seal.

Compatibility:

  • These washers are designed for use with bolts and fittings that match their specific dimensions: .390" internal diameter and .590" outer diameter.
  • Suitable for sealing common automotive, agricultural, and engineering fluids.

Care:

  • Store washers in a dry environment to prevent oxidation.
  • Handle with care to avoid bending or deforming them before installation.
  • Clean any debris from the washer before use, though they typically do not require cleaning if stored properly.
