Wheel Cylinder Connection Gasket

Copper sealing gasket for brake line

Copper sealing gasket for the connection between brake line and wheel cylinder. This gasket ensures a reliable seal of the braking system and prevents brake fluid leakage under pressure.

Material

Copper

Function

Brake line to wheel cylinder seal

Type

Crush washer

Application

Brake system wheel cylinder

Features

  • Copper sealing gasket (crush washer)
  • Prevents brake fluid leakage
  • Used at wheel cylinder connections
  • Replace at every disassembly
  • Meets original specification

★ Essential component for a leak-free braking system. Always replace during wheel cylinder maintenance for optimal sealing.

Application

Used at the connection of brake lines to wheel cylinders in the hydraulic braking system. Fits WWII Dodge WC vehicles as indicated in the product category.

Installation notes

Always use new gaskets — reuse leads to leakage. Place the gasket between the brake line fitting and the wheel cylinder connection point. Tighten the connection with correct tools (flare nut wrench) without excessive force. Check for leaks after bleeding the braking system.

Compatibility

Specific to Dodge WC series vehicles. Note: copper gaskets are crush washers and cannot be reused — a new gasket must be fitted at every brake line disassembly.

Historical context

Copper sealing gaskets were standard on WWII military vehicles for critical brake connections. The soft copper deforms when tightened, creating a reliable seal under high hydraulic pressure.
