Washers: A or B?

[Handyman]

What's the difference between "form A" washers, and "form B" washers? (and is there a "form C", I wonder?)

Sorry to go of post.

Handyman I put you another name on your stud post did you miss it?

Have you managed to locate the stud?

 

[david and julie]

Yes there is a C washer and D,E,F and G!

I didn't know either, out of curiosity I found newform distribution. It wouldn't let me post you a link so have a go on google.

D & J (or perhaps "Form D, and form J ),
Got your additional note about studding, but haven't got it yet. Job has been delayed until Autumn, but I will buy A4 stainless components from Tool-net in due course, as they've been most helpful, even to the point of adding what I need to their website

I've visited Newform's website, and yes, they do all sorts of washer "forms", but I still couldn't find out what the difference is. As I pointed out in another thread, if I know the difference, I would be able to make a more informed choice of the correct product to use. I've sent them an email.

Standby for washer edification:

Form A: ext. diameter same as hexagon, with thick cross section
Form B: same as "A", but thin cross-section
Form C: ext. diameter larger than hexagon, with thick cross section
then diameter increases as far as:
Form G: where ext. diameter is 3 times bore diameter
