Flat washers are one of the most versitile pieces of hardware that can be used in not only nut and bolt fastenening situations but as shims or to protect a surface from damage Made of Grade 360 Brass, known for its strength and resistance to corrosion with properties closely resembling that of steel and offering the highest machinability of all copper alloys. Fastenere brass fasteners are cleaned and applied with a sealer that brings out the bright yellow brass finish and helps to maintain it.
Brass flat washers are suitable for high water temperatures soft or hard water or where chloride is present and offers a high level of corrosion resistance Flat washers are a thin, flat, circular stamping with a centrally located hole, made from grade 360 Solid Brass. Designed for use with brass screws and nuts in general applications where parts are subject to corrosion. These general purpose commercial standard flat washers are positioned under a nut, head of a screw, or head of a bolt in order to provide a smooth bearing surface and evenly distribute the fastener load over a wider area.
