FAQs
What does 'Form C' mean for these washers?
'Form C' refers to a specific standard (BS 4320) for the dimensions of plain washers, typically indicating a medium-sized washer in terms of its outer diameter relative to the inner diameter. Always check the exact dimensions if precise fit is critical.
Are these washers suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the zinc-plated finish provides good resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, prolonged exposure to salt water or highly acidic environments may still cause degradation over time.
Can I use these washers with metric or imperial fasteners?
These washers are specifically designed for 6mm metric fasteners. They are not intended for use with imperial-sized bolts.
What is the purpose of a plain washer?
A plain washer is used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a bolt or nut, over a larger surface area. This helps to prevent damage to the material being fastened and can also help to prevent loosening under vibration.
How many washers are in this set?
This set contains 5 Connect 6mm Plain Washers.
What is BS 4320?
BS 4320 is a British Standard that specifies the dimensions and requirements for plain washers. Conforming to this standard ensures a certain level of quality and interchangeability.
Troubleshooting
Washer does not fit onto bolt.
Verify that you are using a 6mm bolt. Ensure the bolt threads are not obstructed and that the washer's central hole is clear.
Corrosion after short period.
Ensure the washers were stored in a dry environment and were not exposed to corrosive agents. While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can eventually lead to rust.
Washer deforms under pressure.
This is a heavy-duty washer, but extreme loads may still cause deformation. Ensure the application does not exceed the washer's intended load-bearing capacity. Consider alternative fastening methods for exceptionally high-stress situations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These washers require no setup. Simply place them onto the bolt or screw shaft before inserting it into the pre-drilled hole. Ensure the washer is seated flat against the surface before tightening.
Compatibility: Designed for use with standard 6mm bolts, screws, and nuts. The 'Form C' designation adheres to BS 4320 standards, indicating specific inner and outer diameter dimensions. It is advisable to cross-reference these dimensions with your specific project requirements if an exact fit is critical.
Care: To maintain the integrity and corrosion resistance of the zinc plating, store the washers in a dry environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish. A simple wipe-down with a dry cloth is usually sufficient for basic cleaning.
