At Stephens Gaskets, we understand the demands of structural and mechanical engineering.
That’s why we offer premium S275 steel washers – precision components built to handle heavy loads with long-lasting durability. As an experienced S275 steel washers manufacturer based in the UK, we’re trusted by engineers, fabricators, and OEMs nationwide.

What Are S275 Steel Washers?

S275 steel washers are flat discs designed to distribute the load of bolts and screws. Manufactured from structural-grade S275 carbon steel, they combine strength, affordability, and ease of fabrication. This makes them ideal for use in demanding industrial settings.

They’re available in a range of sizes and finishes and can be custom-made for your application. Stephens Gaskets supplies S275 steel washers to industries such as construction, transport, machinery, and general engineering.

What Is S275 Steel?

S275 is a structural, non-alloy steel defined under the EN 10025-2 standard. The “275” refers to its minimum yield strength – 275 megapascals (MPa) – which means it resists deformation under pressure.

Key properties of S275 steel:

  • High tensile and yield strength.
  • Excellent machinability and weldability.
  • Cost-effective compared to alloy steels.
  • Ideal for both indoor and protected outdoor use.
It’s a go-to material for steel frameworks, load-bearing components, and heavy-duty mechanical connections.

Why Choose Stephens Gaskets?

We are a leading S275 steel washers company with over 70 years of experience in manufacturing washers and shims. From one-off prototypes to bulk production runs, we deliver:

  • UK-manufactured precision components.
  • Custom sizing and thicknesses.
  • Coated options for corrosion resistance.
  • Fast lead times and competitive pricing.
  • Full material traceability.
Whether you’re designing a structural beam connection or a piece of heavy machinery, our washers provide the performance and reliability you need.

Benefits of S275 Steel Washers

1. Strong and Load-Bearing

With a 275 MPa yield strength, these washers handle heavy clamping forces without bending or cracking.

2. Excellent Load Distribution

They spread the force of bolts and nuts evenly across surfaces. This helps prevent pull-through, wear, or surface damage.

3. Good Workability

S275 steel is easy to cut, drill, and weld. That means easier installation and modification during assembly.

4. Cost-Effective Performance

More affordable than stainless or alloy steel, yet strong enough for demanding applications.

5. Reliable Durability

These washers perform well under mechanical stress and vibration. They’re built for long-term use in structural and industrial settings.

6. Compatible with Surface Treatments

They can be zinc-plated, hot-dip galvanised, or powder-coated to enhance corrosion resistance for outdoor or humid environments.

Applications of S275 Steel Washers

S275 steel washers are found in critical roles across a wide range of industries. Their strength, resilience, and affordability make them a smart choice for:

1. Structural Engineering & Construction
Used in steel framework joints, bridges, columns, and load-bearing beam connections.
2. Machinery & Equipment
Support vibration control, load spread, and wear reduction in agricultural, material handling, and industrial machines.
3. Automotive & Transport
Applied in chassis assembly, suspension systems, and trailer structures to ensure fastener reliability.
4. General Fabrication
Used in metalwork projects like gates, fencing, racking, and bracket installations.
5. HVAC and Industrial Pipework
Provide bolted joint stability in systems where pressure and vibration require robust fastening.
6. Fixing and Fastening Applications
From retaining wall tiebacks to steel doors and anchor systems, these washers preserve surface integrity and long-term joint performance.
