M10 square plate washers in Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) mild steel, 3mm thick.

Clearance hole 12mm for M10 thread. Pack of 100.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use a square plate washer instead of a round washer?
Square plate washers spread the bolt load over a larger area, preventing pull-through in soft or porous materials like timber, OSB, concrete block, and brick. For steel-to-steel connections, standard round washers are usually sufficient.

Is there a thicker version?
Yes — we also stock the 5mm thick version for heavier-duty applications. HDG versions are also available for external use.

Do you stock other sizes?
Yes — browse our full square plate washer range and all washers.

Complete your order

Northern Fasteners stocks everything you need for a complete, matched assembly. Always pair your fasteners with the same finish throughout — BZP with BZP, HDG with HDG, A4 stainless with A4 stainless — for consistent corrosion protection and a professional result. Browse our full range of hex nuts, washers, threaded rods, and bolt and nut sets to find everything you need.

BZP, HDG or A4 Stainless — which finish do you need?

Choosing the right finish is just as important as choosing the right size. BZP is ideal for indoor and sheltered use. HDG provides heavy-duty corrosion protection for outdoor, structural, and timber applications. A4 Grade 316 Stainless is the choice for marine, coastal, and chemical environments where no rust is acceptable. Read our guide to help you decide.
