Gibraltar Z9462SET Spherical Washer Assembly 5/8 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR Z9462SET is a spherical washer assembly designed for use with 5/8 inch bolts. The set consists of a female washer and a male washer that work together to accommodate angular misalignment between a bolt and its mating surface. The female washer has an inside diameter of 11/16 inches and an outside diameter of 1-3/8 inches. The male washer has an inside diameter of 21/32 inches and a matching outside diameter of 1-3/8 inches. Both pieces are manufactured from 12L14 grade case hardened steel with a black oxide finish, providing surface corrosion resistance. Total thickness of each washer is 5/16 inches, with a spherical radius of 1-3/4 inches. Sold as a matched set of one male and one female washer.

Spherical washer assemblies are used in structural bolted connections where the bolt or stud does not sit perpendicular to the bearing surface. Common applications include machinery mounting, structural steel connections, conveyor frames, and equipment installations where angular load transfer is required. This assembly is installed by licensed millwrights, ironworkers, industrial maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors working on bolted joint assemblies requiring load distribution across non-parallel surfaces.

Key Features

• Male and female washer set accommodates angular misalignment in bolted connections
• 12L14 grade case hardened steel construction for durability under load
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Compatible with 5/8 inch bolt diameter fastener installations
• 1-3/4 inch spherical radius allows consistent load distribution across angled surfaces
• Sold as a matched assembly set for immediate installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/8 inch bolts and studs in bolted joint assemblies requiring spherical load distribution. Suitable for applications where bearing surfaces are not perpendicular to the fastener axis.

Installation Notes

Spherical washer assemblies are installed by qualified mechanical or structural tradespeople. The male washer seats against the bolt head or nut, and the female washer seats against the bearing surface, with the curved faces mating together. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable structural or mechanical codes for fastener torque specifications based on bolt grade and application requirements.
