Installation/Set-Up Challenges for Copper Sealing Washers

Common installation or setup challenges when using Copper Sealing Washers include:

1. Over-tightening: Applying too much force while tightening the fastener can lead to deformation or damage to the copper washer, reducing its sealing effectiveness.

2. Incorrect Size: Using the wrong size of copper sealing washer can result in leaks or improper sealing, as it may not fit the mating surfaces properly.

3. Improper Alignment: Ensuring proper alignment of the washer between the surfaces being sealed is crucial. Misalignment can cause leaks and compromise the sealing performance.

4. Surface Preparation: Not cleaning or preparing the sealing surfaces adequately can result in leaks, as dirt, debris, or old gasket material can prevent a proper seal.

5. Reusability: Copper sealing washers are typically designed for single-use due to their soft nature. Reusing them can lead to deformation, leaks, or ineffective sealing.

By addressing these challenges during installation, you can optimize the performance and effectiveness of copper sealing washers in your applications.
