Why Choose A2 Stainless Steel Metric Fender Washers?
Our A2 stainless steel metric fender washers at AlbanyCountyFasteners.com are designed for reliable load distribution and corrosion resistance in metric-based applications. Also known as A2 stainless metric fender washers, these washers are made from corrosion-resistant A2 stainless steel (equivalent to 18-8/304), ideal for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Their larger outer diameter compared to standard flat washers provides a greater bearing surface, perfect for soft materials, oversized holes, or uneven surfaces when used with metric bolts or screws. Available in metric sizes like M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12, they meet DIN 9021 standards and are ideal for automotive, machinery, and construction projects.
- Corrosion Resistance: A2 stainless steel withstands rust in sheltered settings.
- Enhanced Load Distribution: Large outer diameter supports soft or uneven surfaces.
- Metric Compatibility: Designed for use with metric bolts and screws.
- Versatile Sizing: Available in common metric sizes for diverse applications.
Applications for A2 Stainless Steel Metric Fender Washers
A2 stainless metric fender washers are tailored for projects requiring corrosion-resistant fastening with a larger bearing surface in metric-based systems. Their versatility makes them suitable for:
- Automotive assemblies with metric fasteners
- Machinery and equipment manufacturing
- Construction and structural connections
- Soft material fastening like wood or composites
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A2 stainless steel metric fender washers are corrosion-resistant washers with a larger outer diameter than standard flat washers, designed to distribute load over soft materials or oversized holes when used with metric bolts or screws.
How do A2 stainless steel metric fender washers differ from A2 stainless steel metric flat washers?Fender washers have a larger outer diameter, providing greater load distribution for soft or uneven surfaces, while flat washers are smaller and suited for standard load distribution in metric applications.
Are A2 stainless steel metric fender washers suitable for marine environments?These washers are corrosion-resistant for indoor and sheltered outdoor settings. For marine or highly corrosive environments, A4/316 stainless steel fender washers are recommended for superior durability.
What tools are needed to install A2 stainless steel metric fender washers?No special tools are required. Use a standard wrench or screwdriver compatible with the metric bolt or screw head. Place the washer between the fastener head and the surface for proper load distribution.
How do I choose the right size A2 stainless steel metric fender washer?Select based on the metric bolt or screw size and surface requirements. Common sizes include M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12 inner diameters. Check sizing charts or consult our team for guidance.
