Flat Penny Washer ZP M8 x 25mm Bag 10

ForgeFix Flat Penny Washers are essential components in a wide range of bolting applications, engineered to offer durability and increased corrosion resistance. These washers feature a 25mm outside diameter and are bright zinc plated, making them an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor use. The designation 'Penny Washer' stems from their size, which closely resembles that of a traditional old penny.

Purpose and Functionality

The primary role of a washer is to distribute the load exerted by a bolt head or nut. By providing a smooth and stable surface, Flat Penny Washers help to lessen the likelihood of loosening due to uneven fastening surfaces. Their design ensures that pressure is evenly spread, enhancing the integrity of the fastening assembly.

Versatile Application

These Flat Penny Washers can be employed in an array of bolting applications across various industries. They are compatible with all types of bolts and nuts, which makes them versatile and adaptable for different projects, whether in construction, automotive, or general repairs. This makes them an invaluable addition to any toolkit.

Corrosion Resistance

One of the standout features of these washers is their zinc coating. This coating acts as a protective barrier against oxidation, significantly prolonging the lifespan of the protected metal. Should the zinc layer be compromised, it serves as a sacrificial anode, safeguarding the underlying substrate from corrosion. The presence of zinc oxide, a fine white dust formed during oxidation, does not degrade the integrity of the surface. In fact, it can further protect against additional oxidation, similar to how aluminum and stainless steel benefit from their natural oxide layers.

Quality Assurance

Crafted for strength and durability, ForgeFix Flat Penny Washers are designed to withstand the demands of various applications. Weighing only 0.04 pounds per bag, they are lightweight yet robust, ensuring that they do not add unnecessary heft to your assembly while still maintaining structural integrity. The high-quality zinc plating not only ensures longevity but also offers a professional finish that is both attractive and functional.

In summary, ForgeFix Flat Penny Washers are a reliable, high-quality solution for anyone seeking to enhance the performance and longevity of their bolting applications. Their corrosion-resistant properties, versatile compatibility with different fasteners, and robust design make them a go-to choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
