Flat Round Washers

Flat Round 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.

We stock over 400 flat round washer variants from M1.6 right through to M30, in every material you'd reasonably want, and ship same day on stocked lines.

MATERIALS AND FINISHES

Mild Steel Zinc Plated — Low-cost, suits internal or protected outdoor use. Bright silver finish.

Mild Steel Galvanised — Hot-dip galvanised for outdoor and treated timber applications. Thicker, more durable coating than zinc plate.

Mild Steel Zinc Yellow — Yellow chromate finish, decorative and corrosion-resistant for protected outdoor use.

Mild Steel Black — Plain black uncoated or black zinc plated, often used where appearance matters.

A2-70 G304 Stainless Steel — The most popular stainless grade. General outdoor, food contact, most chemical environments. Products marked A2, A2-70, 304 or G304 are all the same specification.

A4-70 G316 Marine Grade Stainless — The correct choice within 300 metres of the coast and in food or chemical environments. Largely non-magnetic — A small degree of magnetism is normal and not a sign of the wrong grade.

High Tensile Class 8.8 — For high-load structural applications where standard washers would deform.

A4-80 G316 High Tensile Stainless — High tensile stainless for marine and structural applications.

Solid Brass — Non-magnetic, decorative finish, good corrosion resistance. Often used in electrical and plumbing.

Nylon (Natural White / Black) — Electrical insulation, soft contact protection, weather resistance, chemical resistance.

SUB-RANGES WITHIN FLAT WASHERS

Heavy Round Washers — Thicker washer for higher-load applications.

Mudguard Round Washers — Extra-large OD, originally designed for thin sheet metal like mudguards.

High Tensile Round Washers — Class 8.8 grade for structural use.

Nylon Flat Round Washers — Insulating and chemical-resistant flat washer.

UNDERSTANDING WASHER SIZING

Washer sizing can be confusing because the size reference is the bolt diameter the washer is intended to fit, not the washer's outside diameter. An M6 washer fits an M6 bolt — the actual OD and ID are listed in the product title and table. If in doubt, our Technical Resources page has full sizing charts and DIN/ISO standards.

Flat washers are the workhorse of any fastener box. They increase the bearing surface of a nut or bolt head, spreading clamping force across a larger area — essential when working with soft materials, oversized or irregular holes, or any surface where the head would otherwise dig in. They also give the nut a smooth surface to press against during tightening.
