Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and trade professionals needing to reinforce fixings in softer materials. The primary benefit of the Bolts.co.uk Repair Penny Washer is its ability to distribute load over a larger area, preventing fasteners from pulling through. A potential caveat is that these are specifically designed for reinforcement and may not be suitable for all structural applications without further engineering consideration.

FAQs

What is a repair penny washer used for?

A repair penny washer is used to provide increased surface coverage for fasteners, helping to distribute load and prevent pull-through, especially in softer materials.

What size fastener does this washer fit?

This washer is designed for M6 fasteners.

Can I use this on structural, load-bearing walls?

While they reinforce fixings, they are best suited for reinforcing connections in softer materials. For critical structural applications, consult engineering guidelines or use specialized hardware.

What materials are these washers made from?

The product description does not specify the exact material, but they are constructed to be durable for reinforcement purposes.

How many washers are in a pack?

This specific product variant is a pack of 100.

Do I need a special tool to install these?

No, standard tools for installing M6 screws or bolts are sufficient.

Troubleshooting

Washer does not sit flush

Ensure the material surface is flat and free from debris. The bolt or screw must be of the correct length to allow the washer to seat properly.

Material still pulling through

Verify that the washer is adequately sized for the material's strength. For extremely soft materials, consider a larger washer or a different fastening method.

Washer hole seems too large for the fastener

These are designed for M6 fasteners; ensure you are using an M6 bolt or screw. The slightly larger hole is intentional to accommodate the fastener head or nut easily.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents pull-through in soft materials
  • Distributes load effectively
  • Reinforces fastener connections
  • Durable and long-lasting
  • Easy to use with standard M6 fasteners

Cons

  • Not suitable for all high-stress structural applications on its own
  • Adds bulk to the fixing point
  • Requires a clearance hole for the fastener

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use, place the repair penny washer onto the bolt or screw before inserting it into the material. Ensure the bolt or screw passes through the central hole of the washer. The washer should sit flush against the surface of the material being fastened.

Compatibility: These M6 repair penny washers are designed to be used with M6 bolts, screws, or rivets. Ensure the material you are fastening into can accommodate the overall size of the washer without issues.

Care: These washers are made from durable materials and require minimal care. Clean with a dry cloth if dust accumulates. Avoid exposure to highly corrosive environments unless the material is specifically rated for such conditions.
