Boosting Hydraulic System Uptime with Sealing Washers

Hydraulic systems rely on precision. Every fitting plays a role in maintaining pressure and cleanliness. I’ve seen pumps starve for oil because of low-grade washers on banjo fittings. That’s why high-pressure lines always get my seal of approval—Sealing Washers rated specifically for hydraulic environments. Higher-pressure, better performance—period.

What sets these washers apart? Bonding method. A properly manufactured Sealing Washers features vulcanized bonding to prevent delamination under pressure. I specify washers rated for 2,500 psi in diesel injection lines and have never had a leak. My preventative maintenance teams now include washer checks in every shutdown, and the results speak: reduced re-torque cycles, fewer contamination events, and better system efficiency.
