FAQs
What is the primary function of a cup washer?
A cup washer helps to distribute the load of a screw or bolt over a wider surface area, preventing damage to soft materials and providing a more secure fastening.
Are these washers suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the stainless steel construction makes them resistant to rust and corrosion, suitable for various outdoor applications.
Can I use these washers with screws other than M5?
No, these washers are specifically designed with an M5 diameter and will only fit M5 screws correctly. Using them with other sizes may result in a loose fit or damage.
How many washers are included in the pack?
Each pack contains 25 screw cup washers.
What material are the washers made from?
They are constructed from durable stainless steel.
What is the benefit of the 'cup' design?
The cup design creates a slight recess for the screw head and helps to spread the pressure more evenly across the surface, which is particularly useful when fastening into materials like wood or plastic.
Troubleshooting
Washer does not fit screw
Ensure you are using an M5 screw. These washers are designed specifically for M5 diameter screws.
Washer appears to be corroding
While stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or environments may cause surface staining. Clean with a mild detergent and water. Ensure the item is indeed stainless steel and not plated.
Difficulty distributing pressure evenly
Ensure the washer is correctly seated against the surface and that the screw is tightened appropriately, not overtightened, which can distort the washer.
