Positioned behind a nut or screw head, they help distribute the load evenly and prevent material buckling or screw pull-through. Washer sizes correspond to the diameter of the bolt or screw they accompany and should be properly matched to ensure an effective fit. When choosing a washer, it's important to select one that complements the finish of the fasteners in use, as differing finishes can lead to chemical reactions that weaken the fasteners over time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul lwc-4nfn2rc40ch=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli lwc-4nfn2rc40ch=\"\"\u003eThe zinc coating applied serves as a protective barrier against corrosion resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli lwc-4nfn2rc40ch=\"\"\u003eMade from steel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli lwc-4nfn2rc40ch=\"\"\u003eThey provide a smooth bearing surface and protect the underlying surface from being damaged by the fastener.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli lwc-4nfn2rc40ch=\"\"\u003eThey maintain bolt tension and integrity by providing a smooth and uniform surface which reduces the likelihood of loosening due to vibrations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli lwc-4nfn2rc40ch=\"\"\u003eFlat washers are widely used in various mechanical and structural applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli lwc-4nfn2rc40ch=\"\"\u003eI.D.: 5\/16\"; O.D.: 3\/4\"; Thickness: 1\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hillman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48288071090424,"sku":"BAUM10311146","price":140.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/6913\/9448\/files\/gdnmvfpunjuzpmagxnxr_fb1e5002-0b17-48e5-b88c-8e470a25945c.jpg?v=1777317129","url":"https:\/\/baumtools.ca\/products\/14-flat-washers-steel-zinc-40-lbs","provider":"Baum Tools Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
