Brass washer LF L1186035

A brass flat washer creates a precise, durable seal between metal components in high-pressure water and steam circuits. The washer's flat surface distributes the clamping force evenly, preventing leaks and protecting threads from wear under repeated tightening and thermal cycling. Brass is chosen for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to deform slightly under pressure, filling microscopic gaps without cracking or losing elasticity over time.

To install, the operator places the washer between the mating surfaces before tightening the fitting. The correct torque ensures the brass deforms just enough to seal without over-compressing, which could cause the washer to extrude or fail prematurely. Once in place, the washer remains static, maintaining its seal through hundreds of heating and cooling cycles typical in coffee machines and dishwashers.

This washer is manufactured from brass, a material that balances strength, corrosion resistance and thermal stability. Its dimensions—18 mm outer diameter, 12 mm inner diameter and 1 mm thickness—match the exact specifications of the original equipment, ensuring compatibility with the listed models.

The washer fits a wide range of professional appliances, including ASTORIA CMA coffee machines such as ARGENTA, BRAVA and GLORIA; COMENDA dishwashers like AC100, AC150 and ACR260; LAVAZZA coffee and vending machines including LB4700; MCE models FORMA and TOUCH; ORCHESTRALE ETNICA and PHONICA; and WEGA machines such as AIRY, ATLAS and COMBINOVA.

Regular inspection of washers during maintenance is recommended, as wear or deformation can compromise the seal. Replacement is straightforward: remove the old washer, clean the mating surfaces and install the new one before retightening the fitting to the manufacturer's specified torque.
