Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of a disc pad like this?
Its primary function is to provide a compliant surface that distributes pressure evenly and dampens vibrations when a fastener is tightened, protecting both the fastener and the component being secured.
What does the '2 1/4-20' designation refer to?
This refers to the thread size. '2 1/4' is the nominal diameter in inches, and '20' is the number of threads per inch (TPI).
Can this disc pad be used with different types of fasteners?
It is designed to be used with a bolt or screw that has a matching 2 1/4-20 thread, typically placed against the surface of the component being fastened.
What materials are typically used in marine-grade soft disc pads?
Marine-grade soft disc pads are often made from durable, UV-resistant, and marine-environment compatible elastomers or polymers to ensure longevity and performance.
How does this soft disc pad differ from a standard washer?
Unlike a rigid standard washer, this soft disc pad incorporates elastomeric properties to absorb shock and vibration, offering a more compliant and protective mounting solution.
