[RE-wrenches] Plastic washers

[Peter Giroux]

Jay

    Please keep in mind that those plastic / synthetic washers have a high probability of deteriorating over the next several years creating a new set of issues.

  Jay,


  I would suggest that he has a point, that the dissimilar metals do have a reaction.  But that the reaction is self limiting and that stainless fasteners with aluminum are used in marine applications albeit only with anodized aluminum.  Or say fine and invoice accordingly for the plastic washers.

    I'd say no... Tell him to find another installer. 50 million Elvis fans, I mean PV installations, can't be wrong.


    Ask him if he brings his own scissors to the hairdresser? That's my favorite line.

      Hi all

      I've got a client who insists on "plastic " ( synthetic) washers between SS washers and the aluminum racking and modules.

      I'm tried every angle to assure him it's not a problem to no effect.

      So anybody have any recommendations about type, material, and where to buy?

      Thanks
