    Your go-to metal washer for every screw size. Washers take the pressure off nuts and screws to protect mounting surfaces.

    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these washers resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    Oversized Washers

    Cover oversized holes or use these washers as spacers and levelers. Compared to general purpose washers, these have a larger diameter or thickness.

    Conical Disc Springs for Pipe Flanges

    Stacking Configurations

    Keep pipe flange connections sealed to prevent damage and leaks. These springs compensate for flange bolt heads and nuts as they shift from vibration and expand or contract from temperature changes. Unlike spring lock washers, they return to their original height again and again when decompressed. Also known as Belleville disc springs.
    To increase working load or deflection, stack multiple springs. A nested stack increases working load; an inverted stack increases deflection. In a nested and inverted stack, both load and deflection increase. Multiply the original working load or deflection (depending on your configuration) by the number of springs to find your new total.
    Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel—Won't corrode when exposed to moisture or mild chemicals, such as ammonia found in cleaning solutions. These springs compress more easily than steel springs, but they're not as strong.

    Sealing Washers

    Prevent leaks while distributing weight evenly under nuts and screws. These washers compress as you tighten to keep air and fluid in, and dust and contaminants out. Use them anywhere you need a tight seal, such as protecting electronics from moisture or keeping lubricants contained in machinery.
    Rubber

    Resist leaks better than metal sealing washers, but are more susceptible to wear and tear. Reuse these washers a handful of times, as long as the material isn't damaged.
    Weather-Resistant EPDM—The best choice for outdoor use, these washers withstand long-term exposure to sunlight, rain, and ozone. However, they can't handle oil, grease, or fuel like Buna-N washers can.

    Also known as crush washers, these are made of soft metal that deforms under pressure to fill gaps around the nut or screw. Often found in oil drain valves, they withstand stress and wear better than plastic and rubber washers, but aren't as leak-resistant. Metal sealing washers are not reusable.
    Copper—Softer than aluminum washers, these deform easily to create a tight seal with less effort. They resist rusting in corrosive environments, but will develop a green patina over time.
    Cellulose-Filled Copper—The easiest washers to crush. These washers are embedded with cellulose, which makes them more flexible than other metal washers for a tighter seal. They resist rusting in corrosive environments, but will develop a green patina over time.
    Aluminum—These washers are an economical alternative to copper. They have similar corrosion resistance but require more effort to crush.
