Product Details
RS PRO Mild Steel Mudguard Washers
From the trusted RS PRO Brand, this mudguard kit includes galvanised steel mudguard washers in various sizes. They are generally used with a machine threaded fastener and nut to spread the load over a greater surface area when tightening a bolt, screw or nut. Their larger diameter make them more suitable for use with worn thread holes than standard washers. As they are galvanised they have an element of corrosion resistance and are suitable for use in many environments.
The kit is supplied in a plastic case and organizer with a carry handle for safe storage and convenient portability.
How do they work?
RS PRO washers are an essential part of any fastener assembly, as they serve to incorporate spacing and distribute load when placed between a nut and bolts. These washers will help prevent wear and distortion of installation surfaces over time.
Features and Benefits
• Galvanised steel
• Construction for durability
• Available in a range of sizes
Applications
RS PRO washers are an essential part of any fastener assembly. They decrease the surface load when joining materials, meaning there is less pressure on the material, resulting in a decrease chance of wear and tear over time. You can use them to make maintenance easier by allowing for smoother loosening and tightening of components. Plain washers are commonly used in many electronic, food, chemical and construction applications.
What is the difference between a plain washer and a penny washer?
Other than standard washers, you might also hear washers referred to as fender washers, penny washers and mudguard washers. These 'repair washers' have a larger external diameter in comparison to the inner diameter, meaning a larger distribution of surface area. They can be used with a worn fixing hole or to fasten larger surface areas.
