Washers

Washers are thin metal discs that assist threaded fasteners in many ways. Such fasteners as bolts, screws and nuts often use them as anchors to gain an extra boost in strength. This allows to quicken assembly and keep objects together in a more secure and efficient fashion. Washers effectively distribute the load of a treaded fastener and help to create a stronger bond, preventing the fastener from coming loose or corroded. Basic washer types include flat, spring, shoulder, tab, lock and countersunk. Most of washers are designed to spread clamp load applied by a fastener, while others are used to lock the fastener tightly in place or insulated from moisture. We carry washers in different thickness, diameters, finishes and grades for any threaded fastening need.

Create a reliable bolted joint with premium-grade washers, including general purpose, spring, structural, insert and fender washers as well as push-on type retainers, washer bolt kits, body shims, and more. Flat washers help keep the surface being fixed, distribute the fastener load and reduce heat and friction during installation. Spring and locking washers prevent the fastener from coming loose due to vibrations. Fender washers provide an extra-wide bearing surface for distributing force. General purpose washers are perfect for attaching accessories and chassis components, while special purpose high-performance washers deliver the strength you’ll need for use on cylinder heads and mains. To protect high-wear areas like head bolt holes, mid-motor plates, or anything else from galling or collapsing around studs or bolts, insert washers are just the thing.
