407108 - Tweco 1/2 Inch Flat Fiber Washer Replacement

Technical Overview of the Tweco 407108 Fiber Washer

The Tweco 407108 is a specialized flat washer designed for industrial welding applications. Manufactured from high-grade fiber material, this component is engineered to provide necessary spacing and electrical insulation within welding cable connections and MIG gun assemblies. The use of fiber as a substrate offers a balance of compressive strength and non-conductive properties, making it an essential element in preventing unwanted electrical arcing or grounding in high-amperage circuits.

With a precise 1/2-inch internal diameter, this washer is manufactured to strict OEM tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit with compatible Tweco hardware. Unlike standard metal washers, the fiber construction allows for a degree of compressibility, which helps in creating a tight seal or secure fitment without damaging mating surfaces. It is particularly useful in assemblies where thermal expansion and contraction occur, as the fiber material maintains its structural integrity under typical welding operating temperatures.

Maintenance professionals and equipment technicians rely on genuine Tweco parts like the 407108 to maintain the safety and performance standards of their welding setups. Using non-OEM substitutes in critical electrical connections can lead to premature failure or safety hazards. This washer is supplied as a single unit, allowing for precise inventory management for repair depots and maintenance shops.

Whether used in a cable lug assembly, a backend connection, or as a general insulating spacer, the Tweco 407108 delivers the reliability expected from a leading brand in the welding industry. Its simple yet critical function ensures that current flows only where intended, protecting both the operator and the equipment.
