Washers – Fasteners for Secure Fixing

Our Washers provide a simple way to improve many types of fixing.

They fit between a fastener and the surface below. As a result, they can spread the load and help protect the material.

Different types are available for different jobs. In addition, our range includes various sizes.

What Are Washers Used For?

Washers work with bolts, screws and other threaded fasteners.

They have a central hole for the fixing to pass through. Therefore, fitting them is quick and simple.

Common uses include:

• Spreading the load
• Protecting surfaces
• Supporting fasteners
• Reducing movement
• Providing spacing
• Helping with alignment
• Construction projects
• Building services
• Mechanical work

As a result, these small components have many uses.

Plain Washers

Plain types provide a flat surface below a bolt or screw head.

For example, they can spread pressure over a wider area. This can help protect the material below.

They can also cover a hole that is larger than the fixing. Therefore, they offer a simple solution for many general jobs.

Spring Washers

Spring types have a split design.

This design helps them keep tension on the fixing. As a result, they can help reduce unwanted movement.

They are useful for many mechanical and industrial jobs. In addition, different sizes are available.

Penny Washers

Penny types have a large outside diameter.

Therefore, they spread the load over a larger area. This can be useful with thin materials or larger holes.

The wide surface also helps support the fixing. For example, it can reduce pressure around the fixing point.

Using Washers as Spacers

These products can also provide simple spacing.

For example, one or more can sit between two parts. This can help create the required gap.

They may also help with alignment. Therefore, they offer more than just load spreading.

Surface Protection

Tightening a bolt or screw can place pressure on a surface.

A suitable washer creates a layer between the fastener and that surface. As a result, it can help reduce marking or damage.

This is useful when the finish of the material is important.

Different Materials and Types

Not every application needs a steel product.

For example, rubber and plastic options may suit some jobs. These materials can offer different properties from steel.

Some applications may need help with sealing or vibration. Therefore, always choose a type that suits the job.

Choosing the Right Size

First, check the diameter of your fastener.

Next, choose a suitable hole size. You should also check the outside diameter and thickness.

Different applications need different sizes. Therefore, check the product details before ordering.
