These 1/4 in. heavy-duty flat washers are made from hot-dip galvanized steel for dependable corrosion resistance in a variety of construction, woodworking, and outdoor fastening applications. The galvanized coating provides protection against moisture and corrosion, making these washers well suited for use with pressure-treated lumber and projects located inland or around freshwater.
Flat washers help distribute the load of a fastener over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of the fastener pulling into or damaging the material. Their heavy-duty construction makes them a practical choice for applications where a standard washer may not provide the desired bearing surface.
Hot-dip galvanizing has long been a standard finish for heavy-duty fasteners and hardware. The zinc coating provides good corrosion resistance while maintaining the strength and durability needed for demanding fastening applications. Galvanized threaded connections can have slightly more clearance than stainless-steel fasteners because of the variability introduced by the galvanizing process.
These galvanized flat washers are commonly used with galvanized bolts, lag screws, and other compatible fasteners where corrosion resistance and a larger bearing surface are needed. They are especially appropriate for pressure-treated wood projects, general construction, outdoor structures, and applications exposed to normal moisture or freshwater conditions.
Always check local building codes and project requirements to determine the appropriate fastener materials and specifications for your application.
Do not mix galvanized and stainless-steel fasteners or hardware. Dissimilar metals can create a galvanic reaction when exposed to moisture, potentially causing accelerated corrosion. Use compatible fastener and washer materials throughout the connection whenever possible.
