A Sealing Washer is used to prevent leakage of fluids or gases when installed between a fastener and its mating surface. Manufactured from elastomeric or plastic materials, sealing washers exhibit compressible properties upon tightening, creating a barrier that prevents unwanted escape of media.Attributes:• Protect against damage by distributing the load uniformly and reducing the tension on the fastener• Withstands high temperatures without losing their strength or integrityApplications:A Sealing Washer can adapt to irregularities in the mating surfaces and fill gaps that might otherwise lead to leaks. Upon installation, the washer experiences compression, forcing the material to flow into microscopic imperfections and form a tight bond with the plug and expansion tank.
