No, this washer is specifically designed for M5 bolts. Using it with other bolt sizes may result in a loose fit, poor performance, or damage.
Is this washer suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is constructed from carbon steel, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor projects. However, prolonged exposure to moisture may cause rust, so care should be taken to protect it in damp environments.
What material is the washer made from?
The washer is made from durable carbon steel.
How do I store these washers to prevent damage?
Store the washers in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent rust and maintain their integrity.
What are the dimensions of this washer?

Troubleshooting
Washer does not fit M5 bolt.
Ensure you are using a standard M5 bolt. Verify the bolt's metric size. This washer is only compatible with M5 diameter bolts.
Visible rust on the washer.
Carbon steel can be susceptible to rust. For external use, consider applying a rust inhibitor or protective coating. Clean off existing rust with a wire brush.
