FAQs
What material are these washers made from?
These washers are constructed from durable carbon steel.
What size are these washers?
They have an M12 diameter, meaning they are designed for use with M12 bolts and screws.
How many washers are in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 flat washers.
What is the primary purpose of a flat washer?
A flat washer's main purpose is to distribute the load of a fastener and protect the surface of the material being fastened.
Can I use these washers for outdoor projects?
While they can be used, carbon steel is prone to rust. For long-term outdoor use, consider galvanized or stainless steel alternatives, or ensure proper sealing and protection.
Are these washers hardened?

Troubleshooting
Washer does not fit on bolt/screw
Confirm that the bolt or screw is M12 diameter. This washer is designed for M12 hardware only.
Rust appears on washers
Store washers in a dry place. Light rust can be removed with a wire brush, but continued exposure to moisture will degrade the steel.
Washer bending under load
Ensure the load is within the capacity of M12 hardware and the surrounding materials. For heavier loads, consider thicker or hardened washers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These washers require no setup. Simply place them onto the bolt or screw shaft before inserting it through the material or before threading on a nut.
Compatibility: These washers are specifically designed for use with M12 bolts, screws, and nuts. Ensure your hardware is M12 (12mm nominal diameter) for a correct fit.
Care: To maintain the integrity and appearance of the carbon steel washers, store them in a dry environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances to prevent rust. If rust does appear, it can be lightly brushed off, but it may affect the washer's aesthetic and long-term durability.
