What materials are Forgefix Heavy Washers made from?

They are typically made from steel and zinc plated for corrosion resistance.

How do I choose the right size washer?

Select a washer with a hole diameter that matches the bolt's diameter.

Can I reuse washers?

It is generally safe to reuse washers if they are in good condition. However, always inspect them for damage before reuse.

Where can I use these washers?

How should I store my washers?

What does zinc plating do?

Zinc plating protects the steel from corrosion, extending the life of the washer.

Troubleshooting

Use a larger washer to distribute the load more evenly.
