Workshop Warehouse Repair Washers – Imperial 3/8 X 1 1/2 (HRW5)

Description

Genuine Workshop Warehouse · Part no. HRW5

Workshop Warehouse HRW5 are heavy repair washers for 3/8in bolts with a 1 1/2in outside diameter, the largest pairing in this group, made in zinc plated steel and sold in a box of 2.48 kg. They are for bolting through timber trailer beds, van floors, plywood racking and worn or oversize holes in heavier brackets.

Good to know

• Why use them on a trailer bed? A 3/8in bolt through timber pulls in as it is tightened; a 1 1/2in washer under the nut spreads that load so the board doesn't crush or split.
• Can they cover an elongated hole? Yes, a washer this wide bridges a hole that has worn oval or been opened up, provided the metal around it is still sound; rotten or cracked metal needs welding instead.
• Head and nut, or just the nut? On wood and soft material, put one under both so neither side pulls in; on steel, the side against the softer surface matters most.

Which one?

For 3/8in bolts where a narrower face fits better, the Workshop Warehouse Repair Washers – Imperial 3/8 X 1 1/4 (HRW15); for M10 bolts with an even larger face, the Pearl Repair Washers, M10 x 50 mm, Pack of 100 (PRW1021B).
