Hi, wanting to replace a worn aluminum strainer nut and replace the strainer screen and washers. But I noticed the washers are copper. I know it’s been asked before but is anneald copper washers Okay? If not can I just buy a couple fiber washers somewhere to replace the ones in the kit? Thanks in advance for your input.
This is the eBay kit https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=htt...%2F231867072992

They look like fiber washers to me. Call George and ask him.

The picture of them definitely looks like fiber washers, but the listing says copper. I guess I’ll end up using what the kit comes with.

I think they should be copper. Belmetric carries all the sizes you need.

My experience is I couldn't get fiber washers to seal and the copper ones worked.

New fiber washers worked for me but I pulled everything apart to clean the tank and they didn’t seal the second time, Shouldn’t have tried to reuse them.

Nothing wrong with copper washers. Just take a blow torch to them before installation. (let them cool first)
