Setup, Compatibility & Care
For proper installation, ensure the washer size corresponds exactly to the nominal diameter of the bolt. Place the flat washer onto the bolt shank before threading it through the assembly surface to act as a bearing base. No special tools are required, though care should be taken not to over-torque beyond the fastener's limit. While A4 stainless steel is highly resistant to oxidation, it is recommended to keep the hardware free of debris during installation to ensure a flush seal. If the hardware is exposed to heavy saltwater, occasional freshwater rinsing can help maintain its appearance and longevity.
