Product details
W013-1 is a single generic rubber washer for a 1/2 inch connection. Washers like this sit inside a threaded hose nut or fitting and are squeezed against the mating thread to make the seal. They're cheap and easy to overlook, but a hardened, cracked or flattened washer is one of the most common causes of a slow drip at a connection. It's sold one at a time, so order as many as you need.
Dripping hose connection? Start with the washer
Rubber washers seal by compressing between two faces. Over time they take a set, harden with heat and chlorine in the water, or get pinched and split when a fitting is overtightened. A worn washer lets water weep past the thread, leaving drips, damp marks, scale around the nut or a puddle under the appliance. Tightening harder rarely fixes it for long, and can crack plastic fittings. Swapping in a fresh washer is usually all it takes.

Replacing the washer
Turn off the water supply, and switch the appliance off at the wall if one is connected. Undo the fitting, pick out the old washer and wipe the seat clean. Press the new washer in flat so it isn't twisted or folded, then tighten the fitting firmly by hand plus a small turn with a spanner. Turn the water back on slowly and check for drips.
Questions about this part
How do I know 1/2 inch is the right size?
Check the thread size of the fitting, or measure your old washer and compare it with the fitting it came out of. If you're not sure, the parts enquiry form is the easiest way to check with us before ordering.
