FAQs
What material are these washers made from?

What is the diameter of these washers?
The diameter of these flat washers is M18 (18mm).
How many washers are included in a pack?
Each pack contains five large flat washers.
Can these washers be used for outdoor projects?
Yes, they can be used for outdoor projects. For best results and to prevent corrosion in damp environments, consider applying a rust inhibitor or storing them in a dry place.
What type of fasteners are these washers designed for?

Will these washers protect soft materials from damage?
Yes, the flat design helps to distribute the load over a larger area, reducing the risk of damage to softer materials like wood.
Troubleshooting
Washer does not fit M18 bolt.
Confirm that the bolt or screw is indeed M18. There may be slight variations in manufacturing tolerances, but significant fit issues indicate an incorrect size mismatch.
Surface damage still occurs.
Ensure the washer is correctly placed flat against the material and that the fastener is not overtightened, which can still cause indents in very soft materials.
Signs of rust or corrosion.
Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a rust inhibitor or a light coat of oil. Store in a dry place to prevent future occurrences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
These washers are specifically designed for use with M18 bolts, screws, and nuts. Ensure your hardware is M18 (18mm nominal diameter) for a proper and secure fit. They are compatible with a wide range of materials including wood, metal, and plastic, provided the fastener size is appropriate.
Care:
To maintain the durability of the carbon steel, it is recommended to store the washers in a dry environment. If used in outdoor or high-moisture conditions, consider applying a light oil or rust inhibitor to prevent corrosion. Clean with a dry cloth if dust or debris accumulates.
