Some of our washers are used in the standard way washers are meant to be used: as a barrier between the bolt head and the finished area. This also allows for a load to be spread over a larger area which can in turn extend the life expectancy of a bolted joint.

  • Copper washers are sometimes used as a seal washer or crush washer between two parts.
  • Copper and Phosphor Bronze washers are also used as part of a folding mechanism in the building of specialty knives and at times used as a decorative feature.
  • Aluminum washers are used when customers need a light washer but it needs to be strong enough to withstand extreme pressure.
  • Brewster Washers also offers many types of plastic washers for customers who need a stable, non- magnetic affordable alternative to metal washers.
