Description
Overview:
The Timco Square Plate Washer (M16) is a steel load‐spreading washer for construction fixings and machinery maintenance. Made from steel with a self‐colour (untreated) finish, it provides a broad bearing surface under nuts or bolt heads to reduce crushing and pull‐through on timber, steel and composite surfaces. This size is 2 inches (50.8 mm) square, 3 mm thick, with an M16 (16 mm) round clearance hole, so it suits M16 bolts, set screws and threaded rod. Use it on machinery bases, equipment mounts, gates and fencing hardware where extra support is needed. Sold individually for convenient repairs or replacements. Manufacturer part number: WS16503Z. Part of a wider Timco range commonly available in multiple sizes to match different bolt diameters.
Key Features:
- M16 (16 mm) round hole for use with M16 bolts, set screws and threaded rod
- 2" (50.8 mm) square profile spreads load over a wide area to protect the substrate
- 3 mm thickness provides rigidity and resists deformation under clamping force
- Self‐colour steel; suitable for post‐finishing such as painting, plating or galvanising
- Helps prevent bolt head and nut embedment in timber, sheet metal and other softer materials
- Simple to fit; sits flat under the nut or bolt head for reliable clamping
- Suitable for heavy‐duty fixings on construction, agricultural and garden machinery
- Sold singly (each) so you can purchase the exact quantity required
- Consistent dimensions for predictable performance in repeatable assemblies
- Compatible with common anchor systems and through‐bolts using M16 hardware
Typical Applications:
Used wherever extra bearing area is required under a nut or bolt head, including machinery baseplates, steelwork connections, timber frame fixings, anchor bolts in concrete, fencing and gate post brackets, formwork and workshop jigs. Ideal for maintenance and repair tasks on site or in the workshop where preventing surface damage and improving joint stability matters.
