Titan 872-003 Star Washer 7/8"

Star washer 7/8" 872-003 for multiple models

The 872-003 star washer is a 7/8 inch locking washer used to prevent nuts and bolts from loosening due to vibration in compatible sprayer systems. It is specifically designed for use with 0528925N_2000_4000; Hydr M nad Hydra Pro Super; and Hydra M and Hydra Pro 2000_4000 models. The star washer, also known as a star lock washer, features a series of radial teeth or star-shaped points that bite into the mating surfaces when compressed. This biting action creates a strong mechanical lock that resists loosening from vibration and dynamic loads. It is typically made from hardened spring steel to provide consistent tension and durability. Star washers are commonly used in areas subject to significant vibration, such as engine mounts, pump attachments, and control linkages. Over time, star washers can lose their tension, become flattened, or have their teeth worn down, reducing their locking effectiveness. A worn or missing washer may allow fasteners to loosen, leading to noise, misalignment, or component failure. Symptoms of a faulty star washer include visible loosening of bolts, rattling sounds, or signs of movement between assembled parts. Replacing a worn or missing star washer with this genuine part restores the locking ability of the fastener. This simple component plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the sprayer's assembly. Using the correct washer ensures that critical connections remain tight and reliable throughout operation.
