Until your flash hider is correctly timed. If you're not using one that requires specific timing, you dont' need a crush washer. Tighten it finger tight, then turn at least 90° but no more than 460° until the timing is correct (the slots lined up correctly) |

Timing, in terms of mm crushed on the washer or where the ports face upwards on the flash hider?

Timing - referring to having the flash hider turned to the point that the open ports face sideways and up, not down |

Sorry to hijack, but is it possible to get a standard A2 suppressor and have it time correctly w/o a washer?

It's possible. you've got about a 1/360 chance that it will be able to time correctly. If you're willing to be off by 1° either way, you increase your odds to 1/120.  It all depends on how the threads match up. It's a lot easier to just use a crush or peel washer. |

So the distance from the barrel to the ports on the hider does not matter as long as the ports are facing upwards and to the sides. |

You ought not be screwing the thing so far onto the barrel that the barrel begins obstructing the ports... in fact I dont' even know if the threads go far enough to even allow that. But the portion of the flash hider w/out the port needs to be on the bottom. Reasoning is that when shooting prone it doesn't kick up dust. |

Is there anything else besides the vortex that doesn't have to be timed? What about the 4 port phantom?
