Stainless Steel Square Taper Washers
Angled Square Washers for Structural Connections and Surface Compensation
Stainless Steel Square Taper Washers use a square outer profile, central round hole and inclined bearing surface to compensate for angular differences between the fastener axis and a sloped supporting member.
Product Overview
Square Taper Washers are one-piece bearing washers with a square outside shape, central round hole and a controlled tapered section—one edge is thicker and the opposite edge thinner.
The inclined face compensates for non-parallel contact between a bolt head or nut and a sloped structural surface. Correct seating improves bearing contact and load distribution while reducing uneven edge contact; it does not increase bolt strength or replace structural design.
For purchasing, specify bolt size, d1 hole diameter, A square width, s thickness, t taper-height difference or required angle, material, application, quantity and drawing. Availability depends on the selected geometry and project requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Square Taper Washer?
It is a square washer with an angled bearing surface designed to compensate for non-parallel fastening surfaces.
What is the difference between a Flat Washer and a Taper Washer?
Flat washers have parallel surfaces; taper washers have an inclined surface for angular compensation.
Can Square Taper Washers be supplied in stainless steel?
Yes. VALTOR supplies 304/A2 and 316/A4 stainless options according to the required geometry.
Are Square Taper Washers standardized?
Some beveled styles use established references, but many projects require drawing-based geometry because the taper depends on the installation.
Can VALTOR manufacture custom Taper Washers?
Yes. Custom hole, width, thickness, taper angle, taper height and material are available.
