Description
Overview:
Forgefix Flat Repair Washers ZP M8 x 40mm are large outside-diameter flat washers for spreading clamping loads on thin, soft, or damaged materials. Made from durable steel with a bright zinc-plated (ZP) finish, they provide a smooth, stable bearing surface under bolt heads or nuts and help reduce loosening on uneven or oversized holes. Each washer suits M8 bolts, set screws, or threaded rod, and the 40mm outside diameter (1.57 inches) offers a wide footprint to minimise pull-through. The zinc plating resists corrosion, making these washers suitable for both indoor and outdoor use on construction equipment, garden machinery, panels, guards, brackets, and general fabrications. Supplied in a bag of 10, they are a practical stock item for repairs and maintenance.
Key Features:
- Large 40mm OD (1.57 inches) for excellent load distribution on thin sheet, timber, or plastics
- Suits M8 fasteners for common repair and assembly tasks
- Bright zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance and long service life
- Helps prevent pull-through, fretting, and deformation around fixing points
- Provides a flat, smooth bearing surface to improve joint stability and clamping
