Overview: Fender Washer Zinc
- BoltCraft’s fender washers are characterized by their large outside diameter compared to their center hole diameter, providing a wide bearing surface. This design is particularly beneficial for distributing load or stress over a larger area, reducing the risk of damage to delicate materials like sheet metal.
Applications & Advantages
- Perfect for applications requiring a large surface area support, such as auto body repair, sheet metal work, plumbing, and electrical installations.
- The wide outside diameter makes them ideal for attaching signs to posts, installing drywall, or securing wood paneling – offering a secure and stable installation that protects the underlying surface.
Material & Specifications: Zinc Plated Fender Washer
- Manufactured from high-quality steel and available in stainless steel variants, these washers deliver durability and long-term reliability.
- Each zinc washer is available in a range of diameters to accommodate various bolt sizes. The zinc plated finish provides added corrosion resistance.
Strength & Support
- The thinner gauge metal compared to standard flat washers allows for flexible use across different materials while still providing the necessary load-bearing support.
- Designed to prevent pull-through, the fender washer maintains a smooth and even surface for nut or bolt heads. This reinforces structural integrity in assemblies where center hole alignment and outside diameter matching are critical.
Finish & Durability: Fender Washer Zinc
- Typically offered with a zinc plated finish, these washers add a reliable layer of corrosion protection, extending their useful life in various environments.
- The option for no additional finish caters to specialized products or niche orders where surface treatments may not be needed. Stock availability may vary depending on SKU and order volume.
