Question 1

What is a 10MM GI Nut with Washer, and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

It's a nut sized for M10 bolts made from galvanized steel, and it comes with a washer. This combination provides secure fastening with good load distribution, making it suitable for securing joints in construction, automotive, and industrial projects (including outdoor use where corrosion resistance is helpful).

Question 2

What does GI mean, and why use galvanized steel?

Accepted Answer

GI stands for galvanized iron/steel. Galvanized steel is coated with zinc to resist corrosion, which extends the life of fasteners used outdoors or in damp environments compared to plain steel.

Question 3

What are the main specifications of this nut with washer?

Accepted Answer

Key specs: material is galvanized steel, size is M10 (10MM), it is designed for standard M10 bolts, and it includes a washer to improve load distribution and prevent loosening.

Question 4

How does the included washer improve installation and performance?

Accepted Answer

The washer distributes clamping force over a larger area, reduces the risk of pull-through, helps prevent loosening from vibration, and protects the surface being clamped for a more stable joint.

Question 5

What are common use cases for this nut with washer?

Accepted Answer

Typical uses include construction fastenings, automotive assemblies, machinery and industrial equipment, scaffolding, and outdoor projects where a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection is beneficial.

Question 6

How should I install and torque this nut with washer?

Accepted Answer

Thread the nut onto an M10 bolt by hand to start, then use a wrench or socket to snug it up. Ensure the washer sits flat against the surface and avoid cross-threading. Apply a final torque appropriate for the bolt grade and your application; consult standard torque guidelines for M10 fasteners if precise values are needed.

Question 7

How do I choose the right bolt and washer to pair with this nut?

Accepted Answer

Use an M10 bolt with matching thread type, and select a washer that fits the nut’s outer diameter and provides proper surface contact. Ensure the washer type (flat washer) matches the load and environmental conditions of your project.

Question 8

What safety and maintenance considerations should I keep in mind?

Accepted Answer

Inspect for any coating damage or corrosion, especially if the coating is compromised. Use appropriate PPE when installing, avoid over-tightening, and store fasteners in a dry environment to maximize longevity.

Question 9

How does this 10MM GI Nut with Washer compare to the 8MM and 12MM GI Nut with Washer options on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

The 8MM GI Nut with Washer is designed for smaller M8 bolts and lighter loads, while the 12MM GI Nut with Washer is for larger M12 bolts and heavier applications. Choose based on your bolt size and load requirements: 8MM for lighter, 10MM for standard, and 12MM for heavier duty needs.

Question 10

Is this nut suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance that’s suitable for outdoor and damp environments. For highly corrosive or marine environments, stainless steel alternatives may offer greater resistance.

Question 11

Why should I choose a galvanized nut with washer over a plain nut or a non-washer variant in terms of value?

Accepted Answer

The washer plus galvanized nut design delivers improved load distribution, resistance to loosening from vibration, and longer service life in outdoor or demanding applications. This combination often reduces maintenance needs and provides better long-term reliability, delivering better overall value.
