Square washers and plate washers are versatile fastening solutions that distribute load and ensure stability when used with bolts, screws, or other threaded fasteners. They differ from traditional round washers and are made from various materials, such as stainless steel for corrosion resistance, carbon steel for strength and durability, and brass, aluminum, and nylon for unique needs. Strut washers are commonly used in strut channels for load distribution.

Choosing the right square washer or plate washer for your application can be challenging, but it depends on factors such as material characteristics, intended use, size and dimensions, and compatibility with fasteners. At Threadline Products, we offer a wide range of high-quality square washers, 3/8″ square washers, plate washers, and strut washers made from premium materials.

Installing and using square washers is crucial for a secure and reliable connection. Follow this guide: gather necessary tools and materials, position the washer or plate washer on the surface, insert the bolt or screw through the center hole, tighten the bolt or screw securely but avoid over-tightening, and repeat for all required washers.

To avoid common mistakes, avoid using square washers, 3/8″ square washers, or plate washers of incorrect size for the application, over-tightening bolts or screws, and ensuring washers are not misaligned or crooked. By following these guidelines, you can ensure optimal performance and support for your project.
