Plate Washers

What Are Plate Washers?

Compared to generic flat washers, plate washers have exaggerated diameters and thicknesses for covering oversized holes or for use as spacers and levelers. This larger and thicker profile also distributes loads more evenly across a surface. Because of this unique design, plate washers are typically used in heavy-duty industrial fastening applications, including timber construction applications and marine environments.

Plate Washer Material and Finish Options

• 18-8 stainless steel washers feature good chemical resistance and may be slightly magnetic.
• 316 stainless steel washers have exceptional resistance to chemicals and saltwater. They may be mildly magnetic.
• Black-oxide steel washers are mildly corrosion-resistant in dry environments.
• Zinc- and zinc-yellow-chromate-plated steel washers are corrosion-resistant in wet environments.
• Hot-dipped galvanized steel washers are 10 times as corrosion resistant as zinc- and zinc-yellow-chromate-plated washers.
