What is the correct name for a metal washer with an inset O-ring. Often used to seal a gas regulator (CO2) onto a bottle of gas. The idea is that you cannot over compress the O-ring. |

For higher pressure applications a "custom o-ring seal" washer was specifically designed. [Mind you, I have designed "custom o-ring seal" washers to contain 65 ksi pyrotechnic gasses.] -- Lew |
