Description
Overview:
This square washer plate is a flat, load‐spreading washer designed for M8 fixings in construction and garden machinery. Made from durable self‐colour steel (plain, untreated finish), it provides a stable bearing surface to prevent pull‐through, reduce distortion, and reinforce oversized or slotted holes. The plate measures 40 mm x 40 mm x 3 mm (1.57 in x 1.57 in x 0.12 in) with a clearance hole suited to M8 bolts and set screws. Its square profile helps resist rotation and offers good edge bearing on thin sheet, brackets, frames, guards, decks, and mounts found on equipment such as mowers, compactors, generators, and small plant. Sold individually so you can order exactly what you need; some orders may require a minimum quantity.
