Flat washers are used in conjunction with fasteners, such as bolts or screws, and are commonly used with spacers/shims and help reinforce an attachment. They help distribute a load across a surface area. Flat washers are available in inch or metric measurements and come in various sizes, with different outside diameter, inside diameter, and thicknesses.

Used in applications with nuts and bolts. The flat washer provides a greater bearing surface which helps prevent a nut or bolt head from tearing through the material. Flat washers are commonly used in decks and fence building.

Flat Washers are used to increase the surface area of fasteners, in order to evenly distribute the force applied when tightening them to a surface. They are also used to prevent loosening due to vibration, to stop the bolt or screw from pulling through, and act as spacers. They are manufactured from steel and zinc-plated and are manufactured to ASME B18.21.1 standard. Features: Vibration Resistance Acts as Spacer Increases Surface Area Unhardened Carbon Steel
