This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and mechanics seeking a durable and versatile solution for reinforcing joints and distributing loads. The Hiatt Hardware Oversize Repair Washer provides excellent strength and a broad bearing surface, but its specific M8 x 30mm size means it's best suited for applications where this dimension is optimal, not as a universal fit.

They are ideal for distributing load over softer materials such as wood, plastic, and thin sheet metal, preventing fasteners from pulling through.
Yes, the zinc plating offers good corrosion resistance suitable for many outdoor applications, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather or corrosive elements may eventually lead to wear.
An oversized washer has a larger outer diameter than a standard washer, providing a broader surface area to distribute pressure, which is beneficial for reinforcing weaker materials or preventing damage.
Washers made of steel, even when zinc-plated, are typically magnetic.
A repair washer is designed to reinforce a hole or distribute the load of a fastener over a larger area, often used when material is weak, damaged, or needs extra support.
Store them in a dry, protected environment. Keeping them in their original packaging or a sealed container can help prevent moisture and dirt accumulation.
Verify that the bolt is indeed an M8 size. While M8 is standard, slight manufacturing tolerances can exist. Ensure no debris is obstructing the washer's center hole.
The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance but is not impervious. Minimize exposure to moisture and harsh chemicals. For minor surface rust, it can sometimes be gently removed with a wire brush, but the protective layer may be compromised.
This is an oversized repair washer. If a smaller diameter is needed, consider a standard repair washer or a flat washer of the appropriate size. This washer is intended for applications requiring a broad bearing surface.
Setup: No specific setup is required. Simply place the Hiatt Hardware Oversize Repair Washer onto an M8 bolt or screw before inserting it into the material. Ensure the washer's center hole aligns with the bolt's shaft.
Compatibility: This washer is specifically designed for use with M8 (8mm nominal diameter) bolts and screws. The outer diameter is 30mm. It is compatible with most standard nuts and bolt heads for M8 fasteners.
Care: To maintain the integrity and appearance of the zinc plating, avoid exposing the washers to harsh chemicals or prolonged immersion in corrosive substances. If used in outdoor applications, regular inspection for signs of rust or wear is recommended. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Store in a dry place to prevent premature corrosion.
