186W12 - Western Enterprises 7/8 Inch Stat-O-Seal Bonded Washer

Heavy-Duty 7/8" Bonded Sealing Washer

When you need a seal that won't quit, reach for the Western Enterprises 186W12 Stat-O-Seal. Designed for 7/8-inch bolts and fittings, this isn't your average hardware store washer. It is a specialized bonded seal that combines the strength of a metal washer with the sealing power of a rubber O-ring. This "best of both worlds" design is perfect for welders and fabricators working with high-pressure gas lines, hydraulic systems, or critical fluid connections where a standard copper or crush washer just won't hold up.

The magic of the Stat-O-Seal lies in its self-centering, one-piece design. The metal retainer prevents the rubber seal from being crushed or blown out under pressure, a common failure point in high-stress applications. When you tighten down a fitting with a Stat-O-Seal, the rubber is compressed into the threads and against the face of the port, creating a dead-tight seal that resists vibration and temperature fluctuations. It is the professional's choice for sealing banjo fittings, regulator inlets, and manifold blocks.

Don't let a fifty-cent washer ruin a thousand-dollar job. Leaks can cause downtime, inaccurate weld gases, and messy cleanups. By using the 186W12, you ensure a secure, professional connection every time. These washers are often reusable (depending on condition), making them a cost-effective addition to any repair kit. Whether you are fixing a leaky hydraulic line on a shop press or securing a gas manifold, the Western Enterprises Stat-O-Seal provides the confidence that your connections are secure and leak-free.
