Titan 176-919 Stainless Washer

Stainless washer 176-919 for multiple models

The 176-919 stainless steel washer is a corrosion-resistant fastener component used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a screw or nut, over a larger area. It is specifically compatible with PowrTex 15-1; PowrLiner 8900; PowrLiner 8900 XLT; PowrLiner 6950_1; PowrLiner 6950; PowrLiner 6900 XLT; PowrLiner 4950; PowrLiner 4900; PowrLiner 4900 XLT; and PowrLiner 4955, 6955, 8955 models. By spreading the clamping force, the washer prevents damage to the surface being fastened and helps maintain proper torque. It also acts as a spacer, can provide a smooth bearing surface, and in some cases, may help prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. Being made from stainless steel, it offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion from paints, solvents, and environmental exposure. Over time, washers can become deformed, corroded, or lost during maintenance. A missing or damaged washer can lead to insufficient clamping force, surface damage, or loosening of the fastener. Symptoms of a problem include visible deformation of the washer, rust, or loose components. Replacing a worn or missing stainless washer with this genuine part restores proper load distribution and clamping force. It is a simple but important fix that contributes to the overall safety and reliability of the equipment. Using the correct washer ensures a secure assembly and prevents damage to components.
