Extra Large Washer

Extra large washers have a lot of benefits: they spread out weight to help prevent surface damage, reduce vibrations to make fasteners last longer, and insulate electricity to avoid short circuits. They’re simple to install, which cuts down on assembly time. You can choose different materials and coatings to fit specific challenges, like rust or high heat. They meet international standards (like ASTM F436).

Extra large washers produced by Xiaoguo® are cheap because they’re mass-produced and work with pretty much any material. Plain washers won’t scratch up surfaces like lock washers do,good for soft stuff like wood or plastic. They can even kinda seal low-pressure spots, like in some pipe setups. Whether you’re fixing something at home or building a skyscraper, you’ll probably need plain washers to hold things together without being too rigid.

Anti-rust measures

Q: How do I keep extra large washers from rusting in damp areas?

A:Pick rust-resistant materials: Go for stainless steel 316 or aluminum when making/buying your washers.

Add protective coatings: Try zinc plating, hot-dip galvanizing, or passivation (a chemical treatment) to block moisture. In super wet spots, toss on a PTFE coating over stainless steel for extra backup.

Keep ’em clean and greased: Hit ’em with anti-rust sprays now and then, and add lubricant to keep things smooth.

For salty air (like boats): Use stainless steel washers that meet ASTM F594 standards,they are stronger and can withstand this stuff.

Avoid mixing metals: Don’t pair steel washers with aluminum screws/bolts. Different metals react and rust faster together.

Store ’em dry: Keep extra large washers in a dry spot until you’re ready to use ’em. No sense letting rust start early!
