FAQs
What is the primary purpose of a flat washer?
A flat washer distributes the load of a fastener over a wider surface area, preventing damage to the material being fastened and reducing the risk of the fastener loosening under vibration.
Are these washers suitable for outdoor use?
They can be used for protected outdoor applications. However, carbon steel is prone to rust if exposed to prolonged moisture. For harsher outdoor environments, consider stainless steel washers.
What does 'M5 diameter' mean?
'M5' refers to the metric standard size for screws and bolts. An M5 washer has an inner diameter designed to fit snugly around an M5 threaded fastener.
How many washers are in a pack?
This pack contains 20 medium flat washers.
Can I use these washers with larger bolts?
No, these washers are specifically designed for M5 fasteners. Using them with larger bolts will not provide adequate support or fit.
How should I store these washers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a sealed container, to prevent moisture exposure and corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Washer does not fit on the screw/bolt
Ensure you are using an M5 screw or bolt. The washer's internal diameter is precisely sized for M5 fasteners.
Rust appears on the washer
Wipe the washer clean with a dry cloth. Store in a dry location to prevent further rust. For minor rust, a wire brush can be used carefully.
Washer feels too thin for the application
Consider if the application requires a thicker or larger diameter washer. These are medium flat washers and may not be suitable for extreme load-bearing situations.
