Behind the nut of a tie rod through a wall, a large plate washer works as a pattress plate; the engineer of record approves any wall tie. Pick its shape and size, the rod or bolt it's for, and its corners, and the designer draws it and prices it as you go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes this designer makes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e square, rectangle, or round.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\" to 12\" wide, and for a rectangle 2\" to 12\" tall; a round washer 2\" to 12\" across.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole:\u003c\/strong\u003e for a 1\/4\", 3\/8\", 1\/2\", 5\/8\", 3\/4\", 7\/8\", or 1\" rod or bolt, cut 1\/16\" larger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorners:\u003c\/strong\u003e square, clipped, or rounded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/16\", 1\/4\", 3\/8\", or 1\/2\" A36 steel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe designer opens on a 4\" square washer for a 3\/4\" rod, with square corners, in 3\/8\" steel, ten of them.

There's no charge for design or setup. The price changes as you change the washer, and the price you see is the price you pay. Washers under $10 each are sold ten or more at a time, unless your order comes to more than $75; the designer tells you when that applies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlate washer or flat washer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flat washer is a thin stamped ring sized to its bolt. A plate washer is cut from steel plate 3\/16\" to 1\/2\" thick and can be several inches across, so it covers more of the timber under the nut and reads as a deliberate part of the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich thickness should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThicker washers are heavier and stiffer. Our washers are architectural hardware, not engineered or load-rated: if a washer is part of how your structure carries load, as on a wall tie, your engineer decides whether it's suitable and how thick it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe basics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA36 steel plate, laser cut in our ISO 9001 shop in Texas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe hole is cut 1\/16\" larger than the rod or bolt you choose.
