Description
This is one of the small parts that decides whether a job looks finished or not. It is a plain round washer with an antique brass finish, 15mm across, made to sit under a nut or thumb nut where a threaded rod passes through a canopy, a shade carrier or a backplate. The aged tone is warm and slightly darkened rather than bright, so it sits quietly against brass and bronze hardware instead of catching the eye. It is the sort of thing you only notice when it is missing.
We keep these on the shelf for repairs and rebuilds as much as for new assemblies: a pendant being rewired, a shade being swapped for something heavier, an old fitting whose original hardware has gone missing. It suits anyone putting a light together by hand, and it is one we reach for when a nut alone would bear on a thin or soft surface and mark it. Sold singly, so you can buy the exact number you need rather than a pack.
It is a plain disc, shallow in profile, with a clean central bore and the same finish carried across the face. Keep it dry and it will hold its colour; if it dulls, a quick rub with a dry lint-free cloth is all it wants, and we would leave metal polishes and abrasive creams well alone on an aged finish. It carries a one year warranty. Our Hayes range covers the rest of the same job, including metal cable grip kits in matching antique brass and compression cord grip packs, with further finishes if your fitting is chrome, nickel or black. This part is non-electrical and takes no lamp of its own.

Frequently Asked
What size is this washer?
It measures 15mm in diameter and 6mm in height, so it is a shallow, small-format washer rather than a broad flat one.
How many do I get?
It is sold as a single piece, which makes it easy to order the exact quantity a job calls for.
Will it match my other antique brass hardware?
The finish is a warm, aged brass rather than a bright polished one, so it pairs well with antique brass and bronze fittings. Aged finishes do vary a little between makers, so hold it against your fitting in daylight if the match needs to be exact.
Do I get a threaded rod and nut with it?
This listing is for the washer on its own. If you need the fuller set, we stock Hayes metal cable grip kits in the same antique brass finish that come complete with thread, washer and nut.
How should I clean it?
A dry lint-free cloth, lightly used. Avoid polishes, creams and anything abrasive, as these can lift the aged colour from the surface.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outdoor light?
No. It is rated for dry indoor use only, so keep it to interior fittings away from splashes and weather.
