Fender washers are a type of washer used in various applications, particularly in construction, automotive, and other industries. These washers are characterized by their larger outer diameter compared to standard washers. The design of fender washers typically includes a flat, circular shape with a smaller inner diameter.

The larger outer diameter of fender washers helps distribute the load over a wider surface area, providing additional support and reducing the risk of damage to the material they are placed against. They are often used in conjunction with bolts or screws, especially in situations where the material may be prone to deformation or where a larger bearing surface is needed.

Fender washers are commonly used in automotive applications, such as securing components in a vehicle’s fender area, as well as in construction for tasks like attaching panels or other materials where stability and load distribution are important. They are available in various materials, including steel, stainless steel, and other alloys, depending on the specific requirements of the application.
