Expert Insight:
The 229-003JKABNF is a "small but mighty" part that prevents massive headaches. Installation Tip: Because this is a rigid plastic washer, it does not require over-tightening to create a seal. "Hand-tight plus a quarter turn" is usually sufficient. Pro Tip: This washer is most commonly found in Laboratory and Clinical fixtures where serrated hose nozzles or quick-connect adapters are used. It acts as a mechanical barrier that prevents the metal nozzle from "biting" into the spout body, which would otherwise make future maintenance impossible. If you are noticing a leak at the very tip of your lab nozzle or where your garden hose adapter meets the faucet, this washer has likely cracked or become brittle from age. Keeping a handful of these in your maintenance kit is a smart move for any facility with specialized rinsing stations.
