Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, place the washer onto the bolt shank before passing the bolt through the work surface. Ensure the flat side of the washer is flush against the material to achieve optimal surface contact. These washers are specifically sized for M20 bolts; avoid forcing them onto larger hardware or using them with significantly smaller bolts, as this will prevent proper load distribution. While A2-304 stainless steel is highly resistant to elements, it is good practice to wipe away industrial dust or chemical residue during routine maintenance. If installing in a high-tension application, consider applying a light coat of anti-seize compound to the threads of your M20 bolt to protect the hardware during tightening.
