Ruwag Flat Washer Zinc Plated 16mm (10) provides a zinc plated flat washer sized 16mm, supplied as a pack of 10. Ideal for fastening and spacing uses

Ruwag Flat Washer Zinc Plated 16mm (10) is a set of flat washers designed to distribute the load of a fastener such as a bolt or nut. These washers help prevent damage to the surface being fastened and reduce the chance of loosening due to vibration. This pack contains 10 washers, each zinc plated for corrosion resistance, making them suitable for automotive applications where metal surfaces require durable protection.

The 16mm measurement refers to the outer diameter of the washers, which is important to match with the bolt size and the surface area that needs protection. When replacing or upgrading washers on your vehicle or machinery, compare the dimensions and plating to your old washers to ensure compatible fit and function. Flat washers like these are commonly used in suspension components, engine mounts, and various chassis connections.

This listing is for new Ruwag washers under SKU BB-408004. They provide a basic but essential function in maintaining the integrity of bolted connections by evenly distributing pressure and preventing surface wear. Buyers should confirm fitment for their specific vehicle or application by checking measurements and consulting application requirements when necessary.

Helpful product answers
What are the main uses of the Ruwag Flat Washer Zinc Plated 16mm?
The Ruwag Flat Washer Zinc Plated 16mm is primarily used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a bolt or nut. It helps prevent damage to the surface being fastened and reduces the chance of loosening due to vibration. This makes it ideal for various hardware and construction applications requiring secure fastening.
Is the zinc plating on the Ruwag Flat Washer effective against corrosion?
Yes, the zinc plating provides a protective layer that helps resist rust and corrosion, extending the washer's lifespan in typical workshop and outdoor environments. However, for highly corrosive or marine conditions, additional protection or alternative materials might be necessary to ensure durability.
Can I use the 16mm Ruwag Flat Washer with any bolt size?
The 16mm measurement refers to the outer diameter of the washer, so it’s important to match the inner diameter of the washer to the bolt size for a proper fit. Using a washer that’s too large or too small can compromise the fastening integrity. Always check the bolt diameter and select a washer with a compatible inner hole size.
What is a common mistake when installing flat washers like the Ruwag 16mm?
A frequent error is placing the washer on an uneven or dirty surface, which can reduce its effectiveness in load distribution. To avoid this, ensure the surface is clean and flat before installation. This simple step improves the washer’s performance and prevents premature loosening or damage.
Are these washers sold individually or in packs?
The Ruwag Flat Washer Zinc Plated 16mm is sold in packs of 10, making it convenient for bulk use in projects. This packaging suits workshops and Trade Partners who require multiple washers for consistent and efficient assembly tasks.
