Square Plate Washers – Carbon Steel – Residential & Commercial Use

Product Overview

These Industrial Grade M10 Steel Square Plate Washers are expertly designed with a 50mm x 50mm plate size and an M10 clearance hole. Engineered to provide wide load distribution for 10mm diameter bolts and fixings, they ensure structural integrity and protect against surface deformation.

The square form maximizes edge contact under tightening torque, making it ideal for timber and steel fabrication. The galvanised finish offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-term mechanical performance.

Features & Benefits

• Square Profile: Ensures increased bearing area and edge contact for superior load distribution.
• Durable Steel Construction: Made from mild steel for strength and reliability.
• Galvanised Protection: Offers corrosion resistance in exposed or damp conditions.
• Precision Drilled Hole: Provides an accurate fit for M10 bolts or threaded rods.
• Load Spreading: Reduces surface crushing and pull-through on various surfaces.
• M10 Specification: 50mm x 50mm plate with M10 clearance hole for 10mm fixings.

Applications

• Timber Connections: Distributes pressure from bolts across larger surfaces.
• Steel Fabrication: Used under nuts or bolt heads for medium-duty joints.
• Concrete Anchoring: Provides firm seating for expansion and through-bolts.
• General Construction: Reliable reinforcement for bolted assemblies.

Installation Guidance

• Positioning: Place washer squarely beneath bolt head or nut for full contact.
• Tightening: Apply uniform torque; avoid over-tightening to maintain integrity.
• Corrosion Control: Use compatible galvanised or coated fasteners in external environments.
• Inspection: Regularly check for signs of wear or corrosion.

Compliance & Performance

• Material Grade: Manufactured from mild steel to EN 10025 standards.
• Surface Finish: Hot-dip galvanised for enhanced corrosion resistance.
• Dimensional Accuracy: Conforms with BS EN ISO 7089/7093 standards.
• Mechanical Performance: Suitable for structural and general-purpose bolted connections.
• Important Note: Use with matching bolt diameters for optimal performance and safety compliance.
