Carter-hoffmann 18617-0850 Aluminum Spacer

Product Description

The CARTER-HOFFMANN 18617-0850 is an aluminum spacer designed for use in foodservice equipment assemblies and similar light commercial applications. Spacers of this type maintain precise separation between components, distribute load across mounting points, and prevent metal-to-metal contact that can cause wear or vibration damage. The 18617-0850 measures 0.625 inches in outer diameter and 1.625 inches in length, making it a compact, purpose-sized fastener hardware component. Aluminum construction keeps the part lightweight while providing adequate structural support in low-stress installations. Service technicians and equipment repair professionals typically use this part during scheduled maintenance or component replacement.

This spacer is used in Carter-Hoffmann equipment where OEM hardware must be matched exactly to maintain original assembly tolerances. Applications include holding rack assemblies, door hardware, panel mounts, and internal framework components at specified separation distances. Because spacer dimensions are critical to proper alignment and structural integrity, using the exact OEM part number ensures the correct fit without modification or shimming. This part is typically installed by commercial kitchen equipment technicians during bench repair or on-site service calls.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified equipment service technician. Always disconnect electrical power and allow heated components to cool fully before disassembling any equipment. Verify that the mounting hole diameter and bolt or screw size are compatible with the spacer before final assembly. Do not substitute spacers of different dimensions, as incorrect separation distances can affect alignment, door closure, or structural integrity.
