Nylon 6/6 Flat Washer, Plain Finish, Black, #8 Hole Size, 0.17" ID, 0.38" OD, 0.06" Nominal Thickness (Pack of 100)

The black nylon 6/6 flat washer provides a bearing surface for fastener load distribution or is used as a spacer between components. Nylon 6/6 provides resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and many chemicals and solvents. The material is a strong yet lightweight plastic and is nonconductive. Nylon 6/6 can either absorb or lose moisture, which may alter its dimensions and mechanical properties.

Washers distribute the load of a fastener across a surface and can also be used as spacers, springs, shims, or locking devices. Several different washer styles fit a variety of application and installation requirements. The most common style is a flat washer. More specialized washers provide additional benefits. A cup washer, for example, helps protect fasteners from electrical currents, while a lock washer offers additional security in an assembled workpiece.
