Baks PW8 enlarged grommet washer 8 mm, pack of 100 – Baks 650944

Baks PW8 enlarged grommet washer with an 8 mm inner diameter is supplied as a pack of 100 pieces. This reinforcing washer is designed to sit beneath or above eyelets and grommets to increase the bearing surface, reduce material stress and help prevent tearing in fabric, leather and thin sheet materials. The Baks PW8 washer is intended for use where holes are subject to tension or abrasion and an extended support area is required.

Advantages

The enlarged washer provides a wider load-distribution area than standard washers, improving hole reinforcement without adding bulk. Supplied in a pack of 100, it offers consistency in size and finish for repeatable results in sewing, upholstery or repair tasks. The metal construction gives reliable durability and resistance to deformation under repeated load.

Suitable for

• Textile and garment finishing where eyelets need reinforcement
• Leatherwork and craft projects with punched holes
• Upholstery repairs and furniture trim installation
• Light sheet-metal or plastic assemblies requiring reinforced openings
• Outdoor equipment and tarpaulin reinforcement points

How to use

Select the correct eyelet or grommet size to match the 8 mm inner diameter of the PW8 washer. Position the washer on the material so that its enlarged face covers the area around the hole, then install the eyelet or grommet using the appropriate hand press, hammer set or machine tool according to the eyelet manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the washer is aligned and fully seated before setting the grommet to achieve even load distribution and to minimise movement or distortion during installation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the PW8 washers with eyelets of compatible diameter and thickness; test on a scrap sample to confirm fit and appearance. When reinforcing high-stress points, consider combining washers with backing patches or additional layers of material. Store the pack in a dry place to avoid surface corrosion prior to installation.
