Fender washers — also known as “plain” or “traditional” washers — should be a permanent staple in the material collections of both service professionals and do-it-yourself enthusiasts. Without a wide range of fender washers that are made of varied materials to match different specifications, it’s hard to move quickly to complete any number of important projects.
At FMW Fasteners, we offer a vast selection of fender washers, including the different material and specification options that your work demands. You’ll find in our inventory basic fender washers, as well as stainless steel and zinc-plated options. These stainless-steel and zinc-plated options help to ensure your fender washers perform durably over the long-term while fighting against corrosion.
What Are Fender Washers?
Fender washers are similar in shape to standard washers, but the outside is traditionally much larger proportionally to the center hole. As a result, these washers can be placed under the head of a nut or bolt to help distributed forces that are applied during tightening.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STAINLESS STEEL FENDER WASHERS AND ZINC-PLATED FENDER WASHERS?
Fender washers are used most often for fastening sheet metal, because they effectively distribute force during the tightening process and extend the bearing surface for whatever load the fastener is holding up. This is helpful for fastening to thin or soft materials. The oversized diameter and distributed force make fender washers useful in plumbing, electrical and automotive applications as well.
Zinc-plated fender washers have moderate corrosion resistance and tend to be more cost-effective than their stainless steel counterparts, making them ideal for use in projects that don't require a high protection against corrosion. Stainless steel fender washers, on the other hand, have optimal corrosion resistance, strength and durability.
As a provider of fasteners that serves manufacturers, installers, contractors and other B2B and B2C operations, it’s vital that we offer a comprehensive selection that anticipates our broad customer base’s unique needs. And that’s exactly what you’ll find at FMW Fasteners — a comprehensive selection of fender washers made with stainless steel or plated with zinc that can help you prepare to deliver outstanding results, no matter the nature of your upcoming project.
