Round Plate Washers

A round plate washer fastener, also known simply as a plate washer or round washer, is a flat, circular-shaped washer typically used in construction and structural applications. These washers have a simple, round design with a hole in the center, and they are available in various sizes and materials, such as steel or stainless steel. The primary purpose of a round plate washer is to distribute the load of a fastener, such as a bolt or screw, over a larger surface area. This helps prevent the fastener from digging into or damaging the material it is securing. Round plate washers are often used in conjunction with anchor bolts or other fasteners in applications where a secure and stable connection is essential, such as when attaching structural elements like beams, columns, or wood posts to concrete or other surfaces. The choice of a round plate washer's size and material can depend on the specific requirements of the application and the load-bearing capacity needed. These washers play a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of buildings and other structures.
