Description
Overview:
The Forgefix Flat Washer Heavy-Duty ZP M16 (MPN: 10HDWASH16) is a robust flat washer designed for secure, long-lasting bolted joints. Made from quality steel with a bright zinc plated (ZP) finish, it offers dependable corrosion resistance and a clean, durable surface. Built to DIN 125 Form A, the washer provides a stable, flat bearing face that spreads clamping loads under the bolt head or nut, protecting the work surface and helping maintain preload. Suited to M16 bolts, setscrews, and studs, it is a practical choice for construction fixings, machinery maintenance, agricultural and garden equipment, racking, and general fabrication. Supplied in a bag of 10, it is ideal for site use, workshop spares, and repair kits where a reliable M16 load-spreading washer is needed.

- Heavy-duty steel flat washers for M16 fasteners, supplied in a convenient bag of 10
- Bright zinc plated (ZP) finish for enhanced rust protection and a long service life
- DIN 125 Form A for consistent dimensions and reliable seating under nuts and bolt heads

Typical Applications:
Load spreading under M16 nuts and bolt heads in structural steelwork, mounting plates, machine frames, guards, brackets, racking, agricultural and garden machinery, plant equipment, fencing and gates, trailers, and timber-to-steel connections.
