FAQs
What material are these washers made from?
These washers are constructed from durable carbon steel.
What size bolt do these washers fit?
These washers are designed to fit M6 bolts and screws.
How many washers are included in this pack?
This pack contains 100 large flat washers.
Are these washers suitable for outdoor use?
While they offer some resistance, carbon steel can rust. For prolonged outdoor use, consider applying a protective coating.
Can I use these washers with different bolt sizes?
These washers are specifically sized for M6 bolts. Using them with other sizes is not recommended and may compromise the fit and function.
What is the main purpose of a flat washer?
A flat washer distributes the load of a screw or bolt over a larger surface area, preventing damage to the material being fastened and helping to secure the connection.
Troubleshooting
Washer does not fit M6 bolt.
Verify that the bolt or screw is indeed an M6 size. While designed for M6, slight manufacturing tolerances can occur. Ensure no debris is obstructing the washer's inner diameter.
Washer appears to be rusting.
Carbon steel can oxidize. Store washers in a dry place. If rust is present, clean with a wire brush and consider applying a protective coating if for outdoor use.
Washer deforms under pressure.
For applications with extremely high pressure, consider using hardened steel washers or washers made from materials with higher tensile strength. These M6 washers are suitable for general DIY load distribution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These washers require no setup; simply place them onto an M6 bolt or screw before inserting it into the material. Ensure the washer lies flat against the surface before tightening the bolt or nut.
Compatibility: These washers are specifically designed for M6 (6mm internal diameter) bolts and screws. They are compatible with standard M6 nuts and bolts commonly found in hardware stores and DIY projects.
Care: To maintain the condition of the carbon steel washers, store them in a dry environment away from moisture to prevent rust. If they do develop surface rust, it can often be removed with a wire brush or steel wool. For extended outdoor use, consider applying a protective coating like paint or a rust inhibitor.
