Minneapolis, MN — Boker’s, Inc. announces that the company’s extensive washer selection includes fender washers, available in a wide variety of sizes and materials. Fender washers are offered with outside diameters ranging from 0.081 inches to 5.000 inches, plus numerous inside diameter and thickness options. With ready access to more than 2,000 commonly specified and difficult-to-find materials, Boker’s delivers fender washers in materials including low-carbon sheet steel, various spring steels, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper and nickel silver. Non-metallic material options include ABS, acetal, polyester, nylon, nylon MD, polycarbonate, fiber, polyethylene and various NEMA grade laminates. These fender washer sizes are easily accessible by searching for specific outside or inside diameters at bokers.com/fender_washers.asp.
A fender washer, though similar in shape to a standard washer, differs in that the outside diameter is traditionally much larger in proportion to the center hole. With this design, a fender washer can be placed under the head of a bolt or nut to help distribute forces applied when tightening. Its oversized outside diameter also provides more bearing surface for the load of the fastener—distributing the load further on soft or thin materials. Fender washers are commonly used in automotive, sheet metal, plumbing and electrical applications.
Boker’s complete offering of fender washers includes a selection of over 8,968 sizes and 2,000 metallic and non-metallic materials—all offered with no tooling charges. With quick turnarounds and millions of washer possibilities, Boker’s offers washer solutions to suit the widest range of application needs.

Need to acquire fender washers in various colors. I will be using these to color code glass racks in an industrial food and Beverage setting. The racks that these washers would be attached to would be going through a high temperature dish washer, so they will need to be able to tolerate 180 degree water and of course the moisture element. Ideally, as thin as possible and approximately 1-1.5″ in total diameter. I need a total of 8 different colors, approximately 200 washers in each color. Thank you.
