Description
Small parts decide how a finished light reads up close, and this is one of them. It is a flat washer of 15mm diameter and 6mm depth, coated in matt black so it sits quietly against dark flex and dark metalwork instead of catching the eye. There is nothing electrical about it and no light source involved: it is a spacer and a bearing face, the sort of component that goes unnoticed when it is right and looks glaringly wrong when it is bright chrome on a black pendant.
We keep these on the shelf for people assembling, altering or repairing pendants and flex sets, and for anyone who has a dark fitting spoiled by a single shiny disc of hardware. It suits makers and restorers, and it suits the customer who has bought a black cord grip and wants everything above the shade to read as one colour. It is a part we reach for whenever a job calls for black on black rather than a mixed set of components.
The finish is a genuine matt with no sheen to it, which is what allows it to vanish into a black assembly. Keep it clean with a dry cloth, or a barely damp one followed by a dry wipe if it has picked up dust and handling marks; leave metal polishes, creams and solvent cleaners well alone, as they will burnish or lift a matt coating and cannot be put back. It carries a one year warranty. Matt black runs right through this range, so the metal cable grip kits can be had in the same finish if you are putting a complete set of hardware together, and the compression cord grips come in black too. Being non electrical, it takes no lamp of its own.

Frequently Asked
What size is this washer?
It measures 15mm across and 6mm deep, so it is a small, low profile disc rather than a broad flange.
Is it electrical?
No. It is a non electrical accessory with no lamp socket and no live parts of its own.
Will the black finish match other Hayes parts?
Yes. The matt black here is the same finish used on the matt black metal cable grip kits in this range.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth is usually enough. If it needs more, wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, and keep polishes and solvents off the matt surface.
Does it come with a warranty?
It carries a one year warranty.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
No, it is rated for dry interior situations only.
