Description
Hillside washers, also known as bevel washers, are a type of washer that is often used in structural applications to create a level surface against a sloping section. Their distinguishing feature is their wedge or bevel shape.
Hillside washers are commonly used in scenarios where you have a bolt attached to an angled (non-perpendicular or non-flat) surface. The washer essentially serves as a kind of shim, providing a flat surface for the bolt head or nut to exert force on and distribute the load evenly. This helps prevent damage to the material and ensures a more secure connection.
By using a hillside washer, the bolt can be tightened down perpendicular to the washer face, even on sloping surfaces, ensuring the connection is as tight and secure as it would be against a flat surface.
These washers are commonly found in various architectural and structural steel applications like bridges, buildings, and other construction projects with sloping support sections. Like other types of washers, they come in a range of sizes and are typically made of durable materials like galvanized steel or stainless steel to withstand heavy loads and harsh environments.
