Flat Washers

Flat washers are thin, circular, metal or plastic discs with a hole in the center. They are designed to be placed between the head of a bolt or screw and the surface being fastened, such as a piece of wood, metal, or plastic. Flat washers distribute the load of the fastener over a larger surface area, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the surface and enhancing the holding power of the fastener. Flat washers can also compensate for any surface irregularities, such as rough areas or warping. We carry flat washers made of materials like stainless steel, brass, and nylon that can provide corrosion resistance, making them great for use in all environments.
