Dimensional data for M8 EPDM Sealing Washers. Selection is by nominal bolt size rather than by thread, so the controlling figures are the ones in the row below together with the fit and tolerance the mating feature requires.

Common Applications for M8 EPDM Sealing Washers
M8 EPDM Sealing Washers are commonly specified for general-purpose load-spreading and locking under machine bolts.
Mating Parts for M8
A M8 flat washer pairs with a M8 bolt/screw and matching M8 nut.
Technical Drawing
Customize the parameters below — every spec field is editable, and the drawing redraws to match the values you choose. Changing the size will snap the other fields to that size's standard values; you can then override any individual value.

Inside the plant
Manufactured in our own plant
This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.
01
Cold heading
Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.
Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
02
Thread rolling
Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.
Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
03
Heat treatment
Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.
Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
04
Surface treatment
Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.
Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.
Frequently Asked Questions
What clearance and tapping drill suit M8?
Use a 9 mm clearance hole (ISO 273 medium) for through-fixing, or a 6.8 mm tapping drill for a coarse M8 thread.
Which washer dimensions matter most for M8?
For a flat washer, the outside diameter (the bearing surface) and the thickness control how the load is spread under the head and how much elastic preload is preserved. The inside diameter must clear the bolt body but not be so large that the head bears mostly on the washer's outer rim.
What is the coarse-thread pitch of M8 for EPDM Sealing Washers?
For M8 the standard coarse pitch is 1.25 mm — this is the value used for EPDM Sealing Washers.
