WASHER (CAT CT0343294)

CT0343294: A worn washer can compromise the clamping force of a bolted joint, leading to loosening over time. Catalog reference CT0343294 is an aftermarket replacement part, cross-referenced to the OE maker CAT. This hardware washer provides a bearing surface for a fastener and distributes load evenly. A plain mechanical function of a washer is to prevent galling between the fastener head and the mating surface. A concrete generic failure consequence is that a missing or crushed washer can allow the fastener to embed into the material, reducing preload. Keeping a washer in sound condition helps maintain consistent torque retention in assembled components. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
