They also reduce loosening and can act as a protective buffer between materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I really need a washer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on the application. In many cases (especially timber, soft materials, or oversized holes), a washer is essential to prevent pull-through and distribute load. In light-duty metal-to-metal fixings, they may sometimes be optional but still recommended for long-term performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are some washers so big (like Form G)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForm G washers have a much larger outer diameter (typically 3× the hole size). This makes them ideal for numerous applications including timber-to-timber fixings, soft materials like plastic and oversized or worn holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey spread load over a wider area and prevent fixings from sinking into the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size washer should I use with my bolt?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou should match the internal diameter (ID) of the washer to the bolt size (e.g. M10 bolt = M10 washer).
