Component washability typically boils down to two main factors:

1. Are all potentially exposed materials impervious to the wash medium and process?

2. Does the mechanical design of the part prevent entrapment or retention of the wash medium?

The question of component washability requires a “yes” to both.

Because the item in question very obviously has many openings and close mechanical fitments that will entrap the wash medium, it fails on point #2 above and washing would not be recommended for that reason.
