Bodywork washers stainless steel M4 x 20 mm

The washer is intended for fixings where a regular washer is too small and could be pulled through the material. At Proffix you will find it in the Washers category, under Mechanical fixing.

For which applications do you choose stainless steel M4 bodywork washers?

Bodywork washers are widely used for fixing sheet metal, panels and thin components. Because the pressure is spread over a larger area, deformation around the bolt hole is less likely. Even with a slightly oversized hole or a softer material such as plywood or plastic, the wide rim provides grip. Where the fixing is outdoors or in a damp space, stainless steel is a logical choice.

What does M4 x 20 mm mean?

The designation M4 refers to the bolt or screw with which you combine the washer, in this case with a thread of 4 mm. The 20 mm indicates the size of the washer, in this case the outer diameter. Before ordering, check that the hole in your material and the diameter of your bolt or screw match this size. If you are unsure, take another look at the product details on this page.

Why stainless steel?

Stainless steel resists rust, so it suits fixings that come into contact with moisture or outdoor air. Preferably combine the washer with bolts or screws of the same material. This prevents different metals from corroding each other and keeps the connection looking neat for longer.

How do you order from Proffix?

You can order the washers via the webshop, but also by phone or email. If an item is not in stock, it can be reordered. If you need multiple fixing materials, you will also find bolts and other hardware in the same category.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a bodywork washer and a regular washer?

A bodywork washer has a much larger outer diameter relative to the hole. As a result, it spreads the pressure over a larger surface, which is especially useful with thin or soft materials.

Which bolt does an M4 bodywork washer fit?

It is intended for bolts or screws with an M4 thread. The 20 mm in the product name indicates the outer diameter of the washer.

Can I use these washers outdoors?

Stainless steel resists rust, so the washer is suitable for use in damp conditions or outdoors. For best results, also use fixing material made of stainless steel.
