White Nylon Unthreaded Spacer 1-1/2"
Maintain precise spacing and electrical/galvanic isolation across your wash bay plumbing setups with this McMaster-Carr Off-White Nylon Unthreaded Spacer (Part #: 94639A266).
Measuring 1-1/2" Outer Diameter (OD) by 1/4" Long with clearance for a 3/4" screw/bolt, this heavy-duty plastic spacer is widely used throughout Tommy Car Wash Systems equipment arrays. In automated car wash environments, metal-on-metal mounting points are prone to galvanic corrosion, vibration-induced wear, and alignment fatigue. Molded from high-grade, corrosion-resistant nylon, this spacer provides a smooth, unthreaded inner bore that slides easily over 3/4" mounting hardware. It creates an exact 1/4" gap between manifold brackets, chemical injection blocks, valve mounts, and frame structures, absorbs operational vibration from high-pressure water delivery, and prevents corrosion on critical support hardware.
Key features and benefits include:
- Chemical & Corrosion Resistance: Made from premium nylon that will not rust, pit, or degrade when exposed to harsh car wash soaps, acids, detergents, or reclaimed water.
- Exact Component Alignment: Provides a consistent 1/4" stand-off distance to ensure proper clearance for piping, solenoids, and plumbing manifolds.
- Vibration Dampening & Noise Reduction: Absorbs hydraulic shock and equipment vibration to reduce fastener loosening and prevent stress cracking on mounted assemblies.
- Galvanic Isolation: Prevents direct contact between dissimilar metals, eliminating galvanic corrosion in damp wash bay environments.
- Unthreaded Clearance Design: Smooth inner wall allows 3/4" bolts or threaded rods to pass through effortlessly for fast installation and maintenance.
