Description
A washer is a small thing to get right, and this one is finished to match rather than left raw. It is a plain, flat metal ring in satin nickel, 15mm across the outside, with a low profile that stays discreet where it shows. The plating is a soft, low-shine grey with no mirror to it, so it sits quietly against nickel hardware. It comes as a single piece.
It earns its keep in the middle of a light fitting, sitting under a nut on a threaded rod so the nut bears evenly and stays where it is put. That covers plenty of small jobs: rebuilding a pendant, servicing an old lamp holder, taking up a hair of slack in a gallery. We keep pieces like this to hand for customers halfway through a repair, and it is the part we reach for when someone has the rod and the nut but nothing to sit between them. It is non-electric, so it asks nothing of the supply and adds no load of its own.
The build is straightforward: pressed metal, plated and finished to a satin sheen, with clean edges and an even bore. Because the surface is satin rather than mirrored, fingerprints and small marks show far less than they would on chrome. Keep it clean with a dry cloth and nothing more, as metal polish and solvent cleaners will dull satin nickel quicker than anything else. It carries a one year warranty. If you are matching a whole fitting, the same range runs to metal cable grip kits in satin nickel, with antique brass, polished chrome, black chrome, French gold and matt white among the other finishes, plus compression cord grip packs in black, white and clear.

Frequently Asked
What size is it?
It measures 15mm in diameter and 6mm in height, so it stays low and neat under a nut.
Is it sold singly or in a pack?
This is a single piece. If you are working on a multi-arm or multi-point fitting, order the quantity you need.
Does it match satin nickel light fittings?
Yes. The finish is satin nickel, a low-shine grey tone that sits well alongside nickel lamp holders, rods and ceiling plates.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth is all it needs. Avoid metal polish, cream cleaners and solvents, all of which can take the satin sheen off plated metal.
Is it an electrical part?
No, it is non-electric. It is a mechanical component within a light fitting and carries no lamp or wiring of its own.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a one year warranty.
