The SS8 Large Flat Washer is designed for construction, carpentry, and general engineering. It effectively distributes the load of fasteners, preventing surface damage and ensuring secure connections, especially in heavy-duty applications. A potential caveat is its large size, which may not be suitable for very small or delicate projects.

A Form G washer, also known as a large or penny washer, has a larger outside diameter compared to standard washers. This design is optimized for distributing fastener loads over a wider area.
Zinc galvanised means the steel washers are coated with a layer of zinc. This coating provides a sacrificial barrier that protects the steel from rust and corrosion, extending the washer's lifespan, especially in damp or outdoor conditions.
Yes, the zinc galvanised coating makes them suitable for many outdoor applications due to enhanced corrosion resistance. However, continuous exposure to harsh elements may eventually degrade the coating.
The primary benefit is superior load distribution. It prevents fasteners from damaging soft surfaces and reduces the risk of the fastener pulling through the material.
These washers are designed for use with bolts and screws where load distribution is critical. The washer's inner hole size must match the diameter of the screw or bolt you are using.
These washers typically comply with standards such as DIN 9021, ISO 7093, and PN-M 82030, ensuring they meet established quality and dimensional requirements.
Store them in a dry, indoor environment. Avoid storing them in areas with high humidity or direct exposure to water to preserve the galvanised coating.
Ensure the washer's inner diameter (e.g., M10) matches the fastener's size.
This may occur with prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh environments. Clean the surface and consider applying a protective sealant if the application is critical. For extreme conditions, stainless steel alternatives might be more suitable.
Consider using a smaller diameter washer if the large size is causing interference or is not required for load distribution.
Setup: These washers are designed to be used with compatible bolts or screws. Slide the washer onto the fastener shaft before inserting it into the material. Ensure the washer's large diameter covers the intended fastening area adequately.
Compatibility: The inner diameter of the washer should match the size of the bolt or screw thread (e.g., an M10 washer is compatible with M10 bolts/screws). These washers conform to international standards like DIN 9021, ISO 7093, and PN-M 82030, ensuring broad compatibility with standard fasteners.
Care: While the zinc galvanised coating provides corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme marine environments may eventually affect the coating. For best results, store in a dry environment. If used outdoors, occasional inspection for any signs of rust or coating wear is recommended. Cleaning can be done with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised finish.
