Description
Overview:
The Forgefix Flat Washer Heavy-Duty ZP M8 (MPN 100HDWASH8) is a pack of 100 zinc-plated steel washers designed for use with M8 fasteners. Made to DIN 125 Form A, these flat washers provide a smooth bearing surface that spreads clamping loads from nuts and bolt heads, helping to protect substrates and achieve consistent tightening. The bright zinc plated (ZP) finish offers reliable corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor environments. Suitable for construction fixings, machinery assembly, plant maintenance, automotive brackets, and garden equipment repairs, they work with hex bolts, set screws, coach bolts, and threaded rod. The heavy-duty specification makes them a dependable choice where a tougher washer is preferred to reduce surface damage and minimise pull-through on timber, metalwork, or fixings into anchors.
Key Features:
- Heavy-duty Form A washer for robust load spreading and surface protection
- For M8 fasteners, providing the correct clearance for common 8 mm bolts and nuts
- Bright zinc plated steel for enhanced corrosion resistance in typical UK site conditions
- Conforms to DIN 125 for dimensional consistency and reliable fit-up
- Smooth, flat bearing face helps achieve even clamping pressure and stable assemblies
- Useful on timber, steel, and with anchors in masonry when used with suitable fixings
- Helps reduce marking, burring, and pull-through on softer materials
- Straightforward to fit with standard hand or power tools alongside the chosen fastener
- Supplied in a convenient bag of 100 for site work, stock replenishment, and repeat tasks
- Versatile across construction, plant, automotive, and general maintenance settings
Typical Applications:
Load distribution under bolt heads and nuts on brackets, channels, machinery guards, mounting feet, and chassis work; fixing fence posts and gates with coach bolts; assembling racking and frames; securing engines, generators, and compactors; repairs on garden machinery and trailers; general M8 fastening where a durable, corrosion-resistant washer is required.
