General Purpose Washers
Your go-to metal washer for every screw size. Washers take the pressure off nuts and screws to protect mounting surfaces.
Stainless Steel
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these washers resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these washers have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments, but won't hold up to harsh chemicals as well as 316 stainless steel.
Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these washers won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
Steel
Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these washers have a dark, matte coating that creates a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

Brass
Softer than most metals, brass washers won't damage other fastening components.
Brass—With a warm, polished look, these washers are often chosen for their appearance. Similar to 18-8 stainless steel, brass is corrosion resistant enough to stand up to wet environments.

Oversized Washers
These washers have exaggerated diameters to cover large holes and to compensate for uneven mounting surfaces. They are also thicker than general purpose washers, so they bridge wide gaps when used as spacers.

Steel
Low-Friction Cadmium-Plated Steel—The plating reduces friction between the washer, fastener, and mounting surface to prevent sticking when fastening and loosening. It also creates a barrier against rust that's comparable to zinc yellow-chromate plating.

Copper
These have the best conductivity of all our metal washers. They're often used to secure electrical connections inside breaker panels and to fasten components on printed circuit boards. They're also the softest of all our metal washers, so they won't damage screws and nuts. However, copper washers aren't as corrosion resistant as brass washers, and will develop a green patina over time.

Nickel
Super-Corrosion-Resistant 400 Nickel—Commonly found in the oil and gas industries, these washers have similar strength to 316 stainless steel, but are more corrosion resistant to stand up to salt water and harsh acids. They're often used as a high-strength alternative to titanium. Also known as Monel.

Steel
Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
Plastic Washers
All of these washers are lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant. They are commonly used in electronics and automation applications to take the pressure off screws and nuts and protect mounting surfaces.
Nylon—The most popular plastic washers, these are strong, durable, and economical. Nylon will swell and weaken when exposed to moisture, so these washers are best for dry environments.
Moisture-Resistant Delrin® Acetal—The best plastic for damp and wet environments, these washers won't swell or lose their strength if exposed to moisture.
Mil. Spec. Plastic Washers
These washers are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction. They are lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant. Commonly used in electronics and automation applications, they take the pressure off screws and nuts to protect mounting surfaces.

Fiberglass Washers
A lightweight alternative to stainless steel, these fiberglass washers have the best strength-to-weight ratio of all our nonmetal washers. Commonly used to distribute pressure under nuts and screws in building frames, they are a great fit when you need something more robust than plastic, but still have to stay within a certain weight limit.

Split Lock Washers
Stop nuts and screws from loosening due to mild vibration. As you tighten, the uneven ends bite into the nut or screw so it won't back out. While they're not as vibration resistant as other lock washers, they are a great fit for electrical panels, light fixtures, and other light duty assemblies. Split lock washers are not reusable, and they only work with fasteners that have right-hand threads.
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these washers won't rust when exposed to moisture. However, they can't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
