Select the Correct Washer Size: Match the washer to the gauge of your countersunk screw (No.8 or No.10).

Align Properly: Place the washer over the pilot hole before inserting the screw to ensure a centered, flush fit.

Drive Carefully: Use a screwdriver or drill to secure the screw without overtightening, which may distort the washer or damage the surface.

Care and Maintenance

Store in a dry, clean container to prevent oxidation or discoloration.

Wipe with a soft cloth to maintain the bright brass appearance if used in decorative applications.

Avoid abrasive cleaning products that could scratch or dull the brass plating.
