Setup, Compatibility & Care
When setting up these washers, ensure your fastener is a matching countersunk bolt. To maintain the anodized finish, use a quality hex or screwdriver that fits the bolt head precisely to avoid slipping and scratching the washer surface.
Installation Steps:
- Ensure the mounting hole is properly countersunk to accommodate the head profile.
- Place the washer onto the countersunk bolt shaft.
- Insert the assembly through the component.
- Tighten manually; avoid using high-torque pneumatic tools which may cause the alloy to gall or strip.
Care Instructions:
- Clean with mild soap and water only.
- Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaning pads that could strip the 8-12 micron anodization.
- Inspect annually for signs of wear or movement if used on vibration-prone surfaces.
