Washers
When creating strong, secure bolted connections, washers play a vital supporting role. Designed to sit between the fastener and the surface material, washers help distribute load, protect surfaces and improve the overall reliability of the fixing.
Washers are commonly used with bolts, set screws and nuts across construction, fabrication and general trade applications. By spreading the clamping force over a wider area, they reduce the risk of surface damage, indentation or pull-through, particularly when working with softer materials or oversized holes.
Available in a range of sizes, materials and finishes, washers can be matched to the specific application. From general-purpose flat washers to heavier-duty options, choosing the correct washer helps ensure stability and long-term performance. Corrosion-resistant finishes are also available for outdoor or exposed environments.
Used by builders, engineers and maintenance professionals alike, washers provide added security and peace of mind in both light-duty and heavy-duty connections. They’re simple components, but they make a big difference to the strength and longevity of a fastening system.
Keeping a selection of washers in your van or workshop ensures you’re ready for a wide range of bolted applications. Stock up on the sizes you use most and complete every fixing properly.
FAQs
1. What are washers used for?
Washers are used to distribute the load of a bolt or nut and protect the surface being fastened.
2. Do I always need a washer with a bolt?
Not always, but washers are recommended when load distribution, surface protection or improved clamping stability is required.
3. Are washers suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, choose washers with corrosion-resistant finishes for external applications.
4. How do I choose the correct washer size?
The washer should match the diameter of the bolt or screw being used.
5. Do washers improve fixing strength?
They help improve load distribution and stability, contributing to a more secure and reliable joint.
