Features
- Copper construction for durable sealing
- Prevents leakage in braking system
- Prevents corrosion through copper material
- Replaceable maintenance part
- Essential when replacing brake hoses
★ Always use new copper washers when replacing brake hoses to guarantee a leak-free braking system. Reusing old washers can lead to leakage and pressure loss.
Application
This washer is placed over the male end of the flexible brake hose, at the connection with the axle T-fitting (front/rear) or directly at the wheel cylinder. Typically, 3-4 washers are required per vehicle (2 front, 1-2 rear depending on configuration).
Installation notes
Place the copper washer over the thread of the male end of the brake hose before connecting. Tighten the connection hand-tight until leakage stops, then maximum a quarter turn extra. Do not overtighten to prevent thread damage. Always replace upon disassembly — reuse leads to leakage.
Compatibility
Compatible with standard flexible brake hoses on jeeps with 9" and 10" braking systems. Does not fit modern vehicles with disc brakes where different seals are used. Always check the size of your brake hose connection.
Historical context
Copper crush washers have been standard in hydraulic braking systems since the early 1940s due to their excellent sealing properties and resistance to brake fluid. The copper material deforms slightly when tightened, thus creating a perfect seal.
