WASHER & SEAL, PITOT TUBE

$3.35

Description

Purpose: The washer and seal kit for a pitot tube serves to securely mount the pitot tube assembly to the aircraft or vessel structure while preventing the ingress of water, dirt, or other contaminants into the tubing.
Components: The kit includes washers, which are flat, disc-shaped components typically made of metal or rubber, and seals, which are flexible gaskets or O-rings made of rubber or silicone. These components work together to provide both mechanical support and a watertight seal for the pitot tube.
Material Composition: Washers and seals in the kit are made from materials chosen for their durability, resilience, and resistance to environmental factors such as temperature, pressure, and moisture.
Installation: During assembly or maintenance, the washers are placed between the mounting points of the pitot tube assembly and the structure of the aircraft or vessel. Seals are then positioned to create a tight seal around the connection points, preventing leaks.
Maintenance: Regular inspection of the washer and seal components is essential to ensure they are in good condition and providing effective sealing. Worn or damaged components should be replaced promptly to maintain the integrity of the pitot tube assembly.
