Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these washers be used outdoors?

Yes, they are designed with corrosion resistance in mind, making them suitable for most outdoor structural applications.

Are these washers compatible with M10 bolts?

No, this specific model (M8) has a hole diameter specifically machined for M8 bolts and will not fit an M10 bolt.

What is the thickness of these washers?

These specific washers are 3.0mm thick.

Are they available in larger sizes?

Yes, Unifix offers a variety of square plate washers with different hole sizes (e.g., M6, M10, M12, M16) to suit various bolt diameters.

Does the square shape affect the installation process?

The square shape does not require any special installation techniques, but it is better at preventing the washer from spinning during the tightening process.

Troubleshooting

Washer is rotating while tightening the bolt

Hold the washer in place with pliers while starting to tighten, or ensure the hole in the mounting material is not oversized.

Bolt is loose even after tightening the nut

Verify that the bolt is actually an M8 size and not smaller; if the hole in the washer is larger than the bolt, it will not provide the necessary security.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a larger surface area for better load distribution
  • High durability and corrosion resistance
  • Compatible with standard M8 hardware
  • Suitable for heavy-duty structural applications

Cons

  • Limited to M8 bolt sizes
  • Square profile may not fit in recessed or tight spaces
  • Not intended for non-structural decorative use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper performance, ensure the surface you are bolting into is flat and free of debris. When installing, slide the washer onto the M8 bolt shank before threading it through the material. Tighten the bolt with a wrench or socket until the washer is firmly flush against the surface. For maintenance, periodically check the bolt tightness in high-vibration areas. While the material is corrosion-resistant, wipe down with a dry cloth if exposed to excessive moisture or salt to maintain the finish.
