Cup Washers

Cup Washers
How to measure washers
Two ways to confirm before you order - whichever you already know.
1If you know your bolt size

Washers are named by the bolt they fit: an M10 washer suits an M10 bolt. The inside diameter is slightly larger than the bolt so it slides on. Our guide covers every size and washer type we stock.

2If you have a washer in hand

Measure the inside diameter (ID), outside diameter (OD) and thickness, as shown in the drawing.

WHY USE A CUP WASHER WITH A COUNTERSUNK SCREW?

Driving a countersunk screw directly into thin sheet metal can deform the sheet around the screw, leaving a dimple or — in plastics and thin alloys — a crack. The cup washer redistributes the load along its full curve, keeping the sheet flat and giving a clean finished appearance.

MATERIAL

A2-70 G304 Stainless Steel — Corrosion-resistant for outdoor and indoor applications.

SIZE

Sized to the gauge of the screw (e.g., 6g, 8g, 10g) matching common self-tapper sizes. The product table lists OD and cup depth for each.

Cup finishing washers (also called finishing washers) are used when a countersunk screw — often a self-tapper — is securing a flat sheet to something underneath. The cup holds the countersunk part of the screw, providing equal pressure in the direction the load is needed without the conical section forcing material sideways and deforming or cracking it.
