Titan 860-004 #5/16 Flat Washer

#5/16 Flat Washer for PowrTwin, PowrTex, PowrLiner, and HVLP Systems

The PowrTwin 860-004 #5/16 flat washer is a precision-engineered fastener component designed for load distribution and surface protection across a wide range of airless sprayers, texture sprayers, and HVLP finishing systems. Flat washers serve the critical function of spreading the clamping load of a bolt or screw over a larger surface area, which prevents damage to softer materials such as painted housings, plastic components, and aluminum castings. This washer also helps maintain consistent torque retention by reducing the risk of the fastener embedding into the mating surface over time. In high-vibration environments like spray equipment, where pumps and motors generate continuous motion, properly fitted washers contribute to assembly longevity by minimizing loosening and fretting corrosion. The #5/16 size corresponds to a standard fastener diameter used across numerous mounting points, including pump housing attachments, motor mounts, handle assemblies, and control panel fasteners. When original washers become lost, corroded, or deformed during service, replacing them with this factory-spec component ensures that clamping forces remain within design parameters. Using the correct washer also helps prevent stress concentrations that could lead to cracking or fatigue failure in mounting ears and brackets. For both routine maintenance and complete rebuilds, this washer restores the original assembly integrity required for reliable equipment operation.
