3/4″ Grade 8 Washer

In any high-stress fastening application, the right washer is crucial for maintaining secure and stable connections. The 3/4″ Grade 8 Washer with a 5/16″ Width is engineered to provide enhanced load distribution and strength for fasteners, making it an ideal choice for heavy-duty and industrial use.

What is a 3/4″ Grade 8 Washer?

This washer is specifically designed to accommodate 3/4″ fasteners, constructed from Grade 8 steel to ensure superior strength and durability. With a width of 5/16″ from the edge of the fastener to the outside diameter, it offers an optimal balance between support and space management in high-load applications. Grade 8 denotes a high tensile strength rating, making this washer suitable for extreme conditions where reliability is essential.

A washer is a flat, typically disc-shaped component used in conjunction with a fastener, such as a bolt or nut. Its primary purposes are:

1. Load Distribution: Washers help distribute the load or pressure from the fastener over a larger area, which can prevent damage to the surface being fastened and ensure that the fastener’s clamping force is more evenly spread.
2. Preventing Damage: By creating a cushioning effect, washers protect the material surfaces from damage or deformation that might otherwise be caused by the clamping action of the fastener.
3. Reducing Vibration: In some applications, washers can help absorb vibrations and prevent loosening of the fastener due to movement or vibrations in the assembly.
4. Sealing: Certain types of washers, such as rubber or metal washers with sealing properties, can prevent leakage of fluids or gases by creating a tight seal between the fastener and the surface.
5. Spacing: Washers can also be used to adjust the spacing between components or to align parts correctly within an assembly.

Key Features

• Material: Made from Grade 8 steel, providing exceptional strength and resistance to deformation under heavy loads.
