FAQs
What material are these washers made from?
These washers are constructed from durable brass.
What size screws are these washers for?
They are designed specifically for M5 screws.
How many washers are in a pack?
Each pack contains 25 screw cup washers.
Can these washers be used outdoors?
Brass offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor DIY projects, but prolonged exposure to harsh elements may eventually lead to oxidation.
How should I clean the bronze finish?
Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. For stubborn marks, a mild brass cleaner can be used sparingly.
Are these washers magnetic?
Brass is a non-ferrous metal, so these washers are not magnetic.
Can I paint these washers?
While possible, it is generally not recommended as the paint may chip over time due to friction. The natural bronze finish is designed for longevity.
Troubleshooting
Washer does not fit screw
Ensure you are using an M5 screw. This washer is designed specifically for M5 diameter screws.
Color tarnishes over time
Brass can naturally oxidize. Clean gently with a soft cloth. For significant tarnishing, a specialized brass cleaner can be used, followed by a rinse and thorough drying. Store in a dry place.
Washer wobbles during tightening
Ensure the surface where the washer is placed is flat and the screw hole is properly aligned. The washer needs a stable surface to seat correctly.
