Danco 61808B Faucet Washer 1.5 in Black Neoprene

Product Description

The DANCO 61808B is a 1.5-inch black neoprene rubber faucet washer designed to seal compression-style faucet stems and stop drips at the seat. Neoprene is well-suited for this application because it resists deterioration from water, mild chemicals, and the mechanical wear that comes from repeated valve cycling. This washer fits inside the packing nut assembly of a compression faucet and is compressed against the seat each time the faucet is closed. Plumbers and experienced DIYers install this type of washer as part of routine faucet repair on leaking or dripping fixtures.

This washer is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a large-size compression washer is required. It is commonly used during faucet rebuilds, stem replacements, and drip repairs on bathtub faucets, utility faucets, and older compression-style sink faucets that accept a 1.5-inch washer. Sold individually, it is packaged in a UPC-coded bag suitable for counter or shelf stocking.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch diameter neoprene rubber construction for compression faucet stems
• Black neoprene material resists water and mild chemical exposure
• Sized for large compression faucet applications including tub and utility faucets
• Sold individually in a UPC-coded bag

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement washer for compression-style faucets requiring a 1.5-inch seat washer. Verify stem and seat diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or experienced tradesperson should shut off the water supply at the fixture stop or main shutoff before disassembling the faucet stem. Remove the existing worn washer from the stem retainer and seat the new washer flat and centered before reassembling the stem. Do not overtighten the packing nut, as excess compression will accelerate washer wear. Work performed on potable water fixtures must comply with applicable local plumbing codes.
