Products Description
The main job of flat washers is to spread out the pressure from things like nuts or bolts. You put the bolt or nut through the hole in the washer, and when you tighten it, the washer helps distribute the force over a bigger area. This way, flat washers protect surfaces from getting damaged, or they can even act as little spacers if there's too much room between parts.
Sometimes, it's okay to use two washers stacked together. For instance, if a bolt is too long, doubling up on washers can help make everything fit better. But in situations where there's a lot of pressure or weight, stacking washers might not work as well because it weakens both the washer and the fastener. So, it's usually better to just use the right-sized bolt with one washer.

The galvanized silver finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the white zinc or yellow zinc surface treatment offers additional protection against harsh environments.
The flat washers each have their own inner diameter, outer diameter and thickness. The inner diameter is the key dimension for ensuring a proper fit with bolts or screws. It is measured by the length of the centerline of the central hole. The outer diameter is measured by the length of the centerline in contact with the outer edge of the washer. The thickness refers to the height when the washer is placed flat. The diameter of the washer corresponds to that of the matching bolt or screw. For a washer matching a 1/2-inch threaded rod, its inner diameter will be slightly larger than 1/2 inch.
What size flat washer do I need?
The size of flat washer needed depends on the requirements of your specific application. Be sure to choose an inside diameter, outside diameter, and thickness that is right for your application.
Inside diameter
Ensure that you choose a washer with an inside diameter that is slightly wider than the diameter of your fastener's shank. The inside diameter of the washer should only be wide enough for the fastener shank to pass through without catching. If the inside diameter is too large, then the washer will sit off center from the fastener head.
Outside diameter
A larger outside diameter should be chosen for softer and thinner material to prevent the bolt head or nut from pulling through the material.
Thickness
Thicker washers have higher strength for use with larger bolts or heavy duty applications. Washers should not be used as spacers in critical applications
