Washers: Essential Hardware for Secure Connections

Washers are simple yet crucial components used in countless applications to enhance the performance and longevity of bolted or screwed joints. Our range of washers offers diverse materials, sizes, and types to meet a wide variety of needs, from everyday household repairs to demanding industrial projects.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Increased Surface Area: Washers distribute the clamping force of a fastener over a larger area, preventing damage to the connected materials (e.g., preventing wood from being crushed or metal from being gouged). This leads to a stronger, more reliable connection.
• Improved Seal: Certain washer types, like rubber or silicone washers, provide a superior seal against liquids, gases, or dust, protecting the joint from the elements or preventing leaks.
• Enhanced Stability: Washers help to prevent loosening and vibration, ensuring the connection remains secure over time, especially in applications subject to movement or shock.
• Variety of Materials: Choose from durable materials including:
  • Steel: Offers high strength and resistance to wear, suitable for a broad range of applications. Available in various finishes like zinc-plated (corrosion resistance) or stainless steel (superior corrosion resistance).
  • Stainless Steel: Provides exceptional corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor or wet environments.
  • Brass: Offers excellent corrosion resistance and good electrical conductivity.
  • Copper: Provides excellent heat conductivity and corrosion resistance, often used in electrical applications.
  • Nylon: A versatile plastic offering excellent chemical resistance and electrical insulation.
  • Rubber/Silicone: Provides a superior seal against liquids and gases.
• Wide Range of Sizes & Types: We offer a vast selection of washers in various sizes (specified by inner and outer diameter) to fit virtually any fastener. Popular types include:
  • Flat Washers: The most common type, providing a simple, reliable surface for force distribution.
  • Fender Washers: Larger diameter washers with a larger bearing surface area for increased load distribution.
  • Lock Washers: Designed to prevent loosening of fasteners due to vibration, available in various styles (e.g., split lock, star lock).
  • Shoulder Washers: Creates a shoulder or step to provide precise spacing and alignment.
  • O-rings (Washers): Circular rubber or silicone seals offering leakproof joints.
