Product Overview
Steel Square Plate Washers with an M8 clearance hole and 50mm x 50mm plate size. These heavy-duty flat washers are manufactured from robust mild steel to provide a large bearing surface beneath bolt heads or nuts, distributing load evenly and reducing stress on timber or steel substrates.
The square shape offers enhanced edge contact compared with standard round washers, improving resistance to pull-through and surface deformation. Finished with a smooth, galvanised surface, the washers deliver reliable corrosion protection and consistent dimensional accuracy.
The M8 clearance hole is suited to 8mm threaded fixings and general construction anchoring.
Features & Benefits
- Square profile: Provides increased bearing area and edge contact for superior load distribution.
- Durable steel construction: Manufactured from mild steel for strength and structural reliability.
- Galvanised protection: Resists corrosion in exposed or damp conditions for long-term service life.
- Precision drilled hole: Ensures accurate fit around M8 bolts or threaded rods.
- Load spreading: Reduces surface crushing and pull-through on timber, steel, and masonry surfaces.
- M8 specification: 50mm x 50mm plate with M8 clearance hole for 8mm threaded fixings.
Applications
- Timber connections: Distributes bolt pressure across a wider surface to prevent crushing.
- Steel fabrication: Used beneath nuts or bolt heads in structural assemblies.
- Concrete anchoring: Provides a stable bearing surface for through-bolts and foundation fixings.
- General construction: Suitable for all load-bearing bolted joints requiring added reinforcement.
Installation Guidance
- Positioning: Place washer squarely beneath bolt head or nut to ensure full surface contact.
- Tightening: Apply uniform torque; avoid over-tightening to maintain substrate integrity.
- Corrosion control: Use galvanised or coated fasteners of compatible finish in external environments.
- Inspection: Check washers regularly in structural assemblies for signs of wear or corrosion.
Compliance & Performance
- Material grade: Manufactured from mild steel to EN 10025 standards.
- Surface finish: Hot-dip galvanised for enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Dimensional accuracy: Produced to conform with BS EN ISO 7089/7093 standards where applicable.
- Mechanical performance: Suitable for structural and general-purpose bolted connections.
- Important note: Use only with matching bolt diameters to maintain load performance and safety compliance.
