The fender washer M12X45MM is a type of flat washer with a larger outer diameter than a standard flat washer. This larger diameter is designed to distribute clamping force and bearing surface over a wider area, which is particularly useful for thin materials or where a bolt or screw may be making contact with a wider surface. ***Key Characteristics and Uses **Larger Outer Diameter. Fender washers have a significantly larger outer diameter compared to standard flat washers, enabling them to spread the clamping force over a wider area. *Thin Metal Construction. They are typically made from a thinner gauge metal than standard flat washers. *Load Distribution. Fender washers are designed to distribute the load of a bolt or screw over a larger surface area, preventing damage or wear on thin or softer materials. *Applications. They are commonly used in sheet metal work, plumbing, electrical installations, and for repairs or modifications where a wider bearing surface is needed. *Original Use. They were originally developed for use in automotive body repair work on fenders, hence their name. **In essence, fender washers are a specialized type of washer designed to distribute clamping force and provide a wider bearing surface, making them valuable for various applications where a standard flat washer might not be sufficient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
