Penny washers, also known as mudguard washers, or repair washers, are essential components designed to distribute load and provide stability in various applications. They play a crucial role in fastening and reinforcing connections, making them a versatile and indispensable part of any installation.
Penny washers are made from steel with a zinc plating ensuring long-lasting performance and resistance to corrosion, rust, and wear. Their flat, circular design provides a larger contact area between fasteners and the surface they're securing. This increased surface area helps distribute the load, reducing the risk of damage to the material being fastened. They are ideal for reinforcing joints, securing fixtures, and preventing damage due to over-tightening. Penny washers are simple to use and can be inserted between the fastener and the surface with ease. Their wide, flat profile ensures stability and even pressure distribution.
