Why choose rubber cone washers for slip joints? The cone shape concentrates compression where the nut tightens, creating a more reliable seal than flat washers in many slip-joint scenarios. Rubber’s elasticity accommodates small alignment differences, resists water exposure, and remains flexible over temperature changes, reducing the risk of leaks as the system settles.
Installation tips
- Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before reassembly
- Place the Danco slip-joint cone washer in the correct orientation before tightening the slip nut
- Hand-tighten, then snug with a wrench just until the seal stops leaks — avoid over-tightening which can crush the washer
- Run water and observe for leaks; replace if any seepage is detected
