Description

This is one of those small brass parts that quietly does the work of holding a light fitting together. It is a flat ring, 15mm across and 6mm deep, finished in brass so it reads warm against antique and polished metal hardware rather than jumping out of it. Slipped onto a thread ahead of the nut, it spreads pressure over the face of the part beneath and gives the joint a clean, even bearing surface. There is nothing electrical about it, so no wiring, no lamp and no load on the circuit.

We reach for pieces like this when a pendant is being rebuilt, a shade carrier needs packing out, or a thread is a whisker too long for the part it passes through. It suits anyone tinkering with older fittings, making up a bespoke pendant, or simply replacing a fixing that has gone dull and pitted with age. Keep it to indoor rooms; brass in a bathroom or an open porch will dull far quicker than brass in a hallway or over a dining table. Sold as a single piece, so order to suit the job in front of you.

The brass finish is best kept dry, and a soft cloth run over it now and then is all it asks; polishes and creams will cut into the finish and leave it patchy, so leave them in the cupboard. If it is being reused, check the thread bore is clear before it goes back on. It carries a one year warranty. Small fixings like this are worth buying in the finish you have already committed to elsewhere on the fitting, and if you are working with flex we also stock the metal cable grip kits from this range in finishes running from antique brass to polished nickel.

Frequently Asked

What size is this washer?

It measures 15mm in diameter with a thickness of 6mm, making it one of the smaller flat washers used in lamp assembly work.

Is it electrical in any way?

No. It is a purely mechanical part with no wiring, no lamp holder and no connection to the supply.

Will the brass finish match antique brass hardware?

It is a brass finish, so it sits comfortably with warm gold and antique brass tones. If you need an exact match, hold it against the fitting in daylight before committing.

How should I clean it?

A dry soft cloth is enough. Avoid metal polishes and abrasive pastes, as these will wear through the finish.

Can I use it outdoors?

We would keep it indoors. Moisture and salt air will dull a brass finish quickly, so it is better suited to hallways, living rooms and dining spaces.

Is more than one supplied?

It is supplied as a single piece, so buy the quantity your project calls for.
