181162 – Drain Valve Gasket, Washex Washer

The 181162 Drain Valve Gasket is a precision replacement sealing component designed for Washex commercial washers and washer-extractors. This gasket forms a critical seal within the drain valve assembly, preventing water leakage during wash and extract cycles while ensuring proper drainage when the valve is actuated.

Manufactured from durable, flexible rubber, the gasket is engineered to withstand repeated exposure to hot water, detergents, and mechanical cycling common in industrial laundry environments. Its molded profile ensures proper seating within the drain valve body, supporting consistent valve closure and reducing the risk of slow leaks that can impact machine efficiency and floor safety. Ideal for corrective repairs or preventive maintenance, this gasket restores proper drain valve performance and helps extend valve service life.

Maintenance Tip: Inspect drain valve gaskets during routine PMs for swelling, cracking, or deformation. Replacing worn gaskets early helps prevent leaks and unplanned downtime. Trusted by laundry engineers for decades.
