#10 Aluminum Crushwasher

The #10 Aluminum Crushwasher is a critical sealing component designed for high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems requiring a leak-free AN (Army-Navy) connection. Crushwashers are essential for maintaining system integrity in aircraft, automotive, industrial, and tactical applications where vibration and pressure fluctuations demand reliable fastener security. This aluminum construction provides a lightweight yet durable solution for professionals and technicians who need precision-engineered fluid connectors that won't fail under demanding field conditions.

Constructed from natural aluminum alloy, the #10 Aluminum Crushwasher operates on a simple but effective principle: when torqued, the washer deforms slightly to create a metal-to-metal seal that prevents fluid leakage at the connection interface. The size designation "#10" corresponds to standard AN fitting specifications, ensuring compatibility with AN-10 tube fittings and hose assemblies. This crushwasher design is superior to rubber seals in extreme-temperature environments and corrosive conditions, making it the preferred choice for systems exposed to harsh outdoor or industrial settings. The set of five allows for multiple connection points or replacement reserves for ongoing maintenance.

Mechanics, engineers, and tactical equipment specialists rely on #10 Aluminum Crushwashers for fuel lines, brake systems, hydraulic actuators, and pressurized fluid transfer in vehicles and machinery. Installation is straightforward: position the washer between the AN fitting and the port face, then apply proper torque specifications to achieve the seal. Aluminum construction resists oxidation better than steel alternatives, extending service life in exposed environments. Whether maintaining aircraft systems, upgrading hydraulic assemblies, or building custom tactical equipment, this AEROQUIP component delivers the dependable performance that professionals demand.
