ForgeFix M8 x 50mm Flat Penny Washer, Zinc Plated (Pack of 6)

The ForgeFix M8 x 50mm Flat Penny Washers offer reliable fastening support with their 25mm diameter bright zinc plated surface. Their name derives from their similarity in size to an old British penny, while their zinc plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance for long-term durability.

These washers serve a crucial function in distributing the load under bolt heads or nuts, ensuring even pressure and reducing the likelihood of loosening due to uneven surfaces. The zinc coating acts as both a protective barrier and sacrificial anode, preventing oxidation and maintaining the integrity of the underlying metal even if scratched. Unlike iron oxide, the resulting zinc oxide forms a non-destructive white layer that further protects against corrosion, similar to the oxide layers on aluminium and stainless steel.

Key Features:

• Bright zinc plated for corrosion resistance
• 25mm outside diameter (M8 size)
• Distributes load evenly under bolts/nuts
• Creates smoother fastening surface
• Long-lasting protective zinc oxide layer
• Supplied in convenient ForgePack of 6

Ideal for all types of bolting applications, these washers provide essential support in construction, machinery assembly, and general hardware installations where reliable fastening is required.
