Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these washers be used outdoors?

Yes, the bright zinc plating provides a protective barrier against oxidation, making them suitable for many outdoor applications.

Are these suitable for M8 bolts?

No, these are designed for M10 bolts. Using them with M8 bolts will result in an loose fit.

How many washers are in a pack?

This pack contains 6 washers.

Will these rust?

They are zinc-plated to resist corrosion, but like any metal component, they should be kept away from harsh chemicals and saltwater to prevent eventual surface oxidation.

What is the outer diameter of the washer?

These washers have an outer diameter of 40mm.

Troubleshooting

Washer spinning during tightening

Ensure the bolt is properly seated and apply counter-pressure to the bolt head while tightening the nut.

Bolt appears loose after assembly

Verify that the fastener is fully threaded and that you have not exceeded the recommended torque settings for the bolt material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to zinc plating
  • Prevents loosening by distributing fastener load
  • Protects workpiece surfaces from bolt head marks
  • Simple to install with standard M10 bolts

Cons

  • Specific to M10 diameter hardware
  • Pack size is limited to 6 units
  • Not intended for high-heat or extreme chemical environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your fastener is an M10 size, as these washers are precision-engineered for this diameter. Installation is straightforward: simply slide the washer onto the bolt shank before passing it through your material, then apply the nut. To maintain the zinc coating's integrity, avoid using abrasive tools or heavy impact wrenches that might strip the protective finish. Periodically check that your fastenings remain tight, especially if the project is subject to high-vibration environments, and keep the washers dry to prolong the lifespan of the zinc plating.
