Description:
One of those parts nobody sets out to buy, and then a job stops until you have one. This is a stepped steel washer that sits between a batten fix lampholder and the glass shade it carries, taking up the gap so the glass seats square instead of rattling or sitting on an angle.
The step is the point. A flat washer just packs the joint; a stepped one locates the glass, so the shade centres itself as you tighten it down. That is the difference between a batten fix light that looks like it was fitted properly and one that has a visible lean when you walk under it.
It measures 60mm across the outside with a 28mm inner diameter, which suits a range of batten fix DIY glasses. Worth checking the shade you are working with against those two figures before ordering, since batten fix glass is not standardised and a washer that is too large will show past the edge of the shade.
Plain steel finish, sold individually rather than in a pack, so buy one per fitting. If you are replacing several batten fix glasses through a house, count the fittings first.
