Flat washers are thin rings with a round outer diameter and an inner hole slightly larger than the bolt or screw being used. They are designed to evenly distribute the load from bolts, screws, and nuts when fasteners are tightened, protecting surfaces from damage and improving fastening performance. Hot-dip galvanized flat washers are produced through a galvanizing process. The galvanized coating provides the first layer of rust protection on alloy steel, resulting in corrosion resistant washers suitable for challenging environments. Key benefits - Enable even load distribution to protect mating surfaces and reduce damage during tightening. - Provide corrosion resistance through hot-dip galvanizing, extending service life in moist or outdoor conditions. - Compatible with standard bolts and screws, with an inner diameter sized to fit the intended fastener and an outer diameter that defines the washer size. Specifications and compatibility - Material: alloy steel with hot-dip galvanizing finish. - Function: to distribute fastener load and protect surfaces. - Inner diameter: slightly larger than the bolt or screw being used, ensuring proper fit. - Outer diameter: round to suit standard flat washer applications. Applications - Outdoor or damp environment fastenings such as deck, fence, or outdoor furniture installations, where load distribution and corrosion resistance are important. - Machinery, equipment, or structural assemblies exposed to moisture or weathering, requiring durable, rust-resistant hardware. - General metal-to-metal or sheet-to-frame connections where a protective load-distributing washer is needed to prevent damage to surfaces.
