Description
Overview:
The Timco Square Plate Washer is a flat steel washer designed to spread the clamping force of an M10 fixing across a wider area. Made from plain (self‐colour) steel, it is suitable for general construction, plant, and garden machinery assemblies where added bearing surface and protection are needed. The square profile helps prevent pull‐through on oversized or worn holes and offers stable seating against timber, steel, or masonry. It measures 2 inches (50.8 mm) square and 3 mm thick, with a round hole sized for M10 bolts or threaded rod. Use it with structural brackets, baseplates, posts, and equipment mounts to reduce local crushing and surface damage. Supplied individually, it is a practical choice for trades, facilities maintenance, and DIY repairs across workshops and site work.
Key Features:
- 2" (50.8 mm) square profile provides generous bearing area for better load spread
- 3 mm thickness adds rigidity to resist deformation under clamp load
- M10 clearance hole suits standard M10 bolts, set screws, coach bolts, and threaded rod
- Plain (self‐colour) steel for straightforward fabrication, welding, or painting if required
- Helps protect timber, sheet metal, and concrete faces from bolt head or nut indentation
- Square form improves stability compared with small round washers, reducing pull‐through risk
- Simple to fit: place under bolt head or nut to increase contact area and alignment
- Sold individually, allowing accurate quantity selection for repairs and small projects
Typical Applications:
Load‐spreading washer for M10 fastenings in timber framing, fence and gate posts, formwork, and shuttering. Useful on machinery bases, frames, guards, brackets, generators, compressors, compactors, and garden equipment mounts. Ideal where bolts pass through soft materials or slotted/oversized holes, and for refurbishing worn fixings on site.
