A Breather Washer is a thin plate, disk-shaped with a hole in the center, used in conjunction with a threaded fastener such as a bolt or nut. Its primary function is to distribute the load of the fastener across a larger area, preventing damage to the mating surfaces and ensuring a secure connection. Washers also act as spacers and help to prevent the fastener from loosening due to vibration or shock.Attributes:• Made with Bronze which gives excellent corrosion resistance• Acts as a protective barrier between the mating surfaces, preventing damage or scratchingApplications:A Breather Washer is used to spread the load over a wider surface area, preventing concentrated pressure and potential damage to the breather of the hydraulic control valve.
