Heavy Round Washers

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

MATERIALS
Mild Steel Galvanised — Hot-dip galvanised, the most common option for outdoor structural use.
Mild Steel Zinc Plated — Economical option for protected applications.
A2-70 G304 Stainless Steel — Outdoor and food/chemical applications.
A4-70 G316 Marine Grade Stainless — Coastal and marine applications. Largely non-magnetic.
WHEN TO USE A HEAVY WASHER
Pick a heavy washer when the clamping load is high enough to dish a standard-gauge flat washer, when the bearing material is soft enough that the load needs spreading over a thicker plate, or when the application calls for the larger OD typically supplied with heavy gauge.

Heavy round washers are a thicker, more robust version of the standard flat round washer. The extra gauge resists deformation under high clamping loads, making them the right choice for structural connections, retaining wall hardware, and any joint where a standard washer would dish or compress.
