What Are the Primary Benefits of Washers?
Washers are used in virtually every industrial application that uses fasteners. They are available in various styles with a wide range of material and finish options. Each material and finish offering provides unique strength and performance characteristics, like corrosion resistance, thermal resistance, locking capabilities, and more. From standard flat washers to heavy-duty structural washers, we have an extensive inventory of washers that are ready to ship. Whatever your application requires, you can count on RC Fasteners to supply you with the best washers for your application.Washer Styles We Distribute at RC Fasteners
Bonded Sealing Washers
Bonded sealing washers feature a metal backing with an integrated rubber or elastomer seal. When tightened, the washer compresses, creating a tight seal between the bolt and the fastening surface. These washers are designed to provide a watertight seal and protect against leaks. They are often used in roofing, automotive, and plumbing applications.Countersunk Finishing Washers
Countersunk finishing washers are designed for use with countersunk screws to provide a finished appearance. They are specially designed to distribute the load and prevent damage to softer materials. Their design makes them ideal for furniture and cabinetry, both because they create a desirable aesthetic and because they protect soft surfaces.Flat Washers
Flat washers are an extremely common style of washer. They are basic washers that are used in numerous applications. They are available in nearly all materials and finishes, including:Nylon Flat Washers
Nylon flat washers are plastic washers that are lightweight and non-corrosive. Since they are non-metallic, they are commonly used in electronics and low-stress applications, as the plastic material provides electrical insulation.Round Washers
Round washers are standard circular washers. Like flat washers, they are used in virtually every industrial sector that utilizes fasteners. They provide reliably even load distribution under fastener heads and are incredibly versatile. They are also available in nearly every material and finish option for general-purpose applications.Shear Plate Washers
Shear plate washers are heavy-duty washers with a specialized design that resists shear forces and enhances joint strength in bolted connections. They are often used in timber construction and structural applications. Our shear plate washers are available in malleable and hot dip galvanized options for corrosion resistance.Square Washers
Our square washers are designed to resist rotation under heavy loads. They are available in three different styles: Beveled, Malleable, and F436. The beveled and malleable options allow for use with angled surfaces, while the F436 specification is designed for structural-grade performance.Structural Washers
As their name implies, our structural washers are thick and durable washers designed for heavy-duty and construction applications. They are designed to withstand extreme loads, making them widely used in structural engineering projects.Standard Lock Washers
Standard lock washers are made with a special locking mechanism that prevents loosening due to vibration. We distribute standard steel lock washers in various styles, including:- External Tooth (teeth on the outside of the washer)
- Internal Tooth (teeth on the inside of the washer)
- Split (twisted ring design)
Split Lock Washers
Split lock washers are a special type of lock washer that features an actual split in the body of the washer that prevents loosening. Our split lock washers are available in stainless steel and thru-hardened steel options:- 18-8 Stainless Steel and 316 Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant split washers for harsh environments requiring secure fastening in corrosive conditions.
- Thru-Hardened: Heat-treated steel for added strength and durability. Ideal for high-stress environments requiring exceptionally high toughness and strength.
Material Options for Washers
Our broad selection of washers are available in multiple combinations of materials and finishes. Common materials used for washers include:- Plain: Plain steel flat washers with no special coatings. Usually ideal for indoor use.
- Zinc Coating: Standard zinc coating that provides moderate corrosion resistance.
- HDG (Hot-Dip Galvanized): Hot-dip galvanized coatings provide excellent corrosion resistance through a very thick zinc coating. Ideal for outdoor use and applications with exposure to chemicals.
- Stainless Steel (18-8, 316): Stainless steel provides high strength and corrosion resistance for marine and outdoor use. Grade 18-8 offers general resistance, while 316 provides superior protection against chlorides.
- Thru-Hardened: Heat-treated for increased hardness and strength. Used in high-stress applications such as structural connections.
- Nylon: Plastic washers that are used for applications that require non-metallic fastening solutions.
