Washer 3 times the hole mm 12×36 – code: R3VF12X36

Washer 3 times the hole mm 12×36 – R3VF12X36

The washer 3 times the hole mm 12×36 (code R3VF12X36) is a hardware component designed for use in assemblies and fixings where it is useful to have a wide support surface compared to the hole diameter. In technical contexts, a washer with an enlarged outer diameter is often chosen to distribute the tightening load over a larger area, protect the contact surface, and support a more stable coupling between screw/bolt and material.

Features and details

The available information clearly identifies the product format and coding. Below are the useful details for recognition and selection:

• Type: washer “3 times the hole”
• Size: 12×36 (mm)
• Code: R3VF12X36
• Category: Hardware / Plumbing and hardware

The wording “3 times the hole” indicates a washer with increased outer diameter compared to the hole, useful when you want to increase the support area. The size 12×36 allows quick identification of the format during procurement and material preparation for the intervention.

Quick identification in the warehouse

To reduce errors during picking or reorder, it is advisable to refer to the code R3VF12X36, , which allows distinguishing this washer from other similar formats. In maintenance contexts (workshop, site, onboard), clear coding helps maintain consistency between the bill of materials and components actually installed.

Typical applications

A washer with a wide outer diameter is commonly used in many assembly situations, especially when the support requires a wider distribution of tightening or when you want to protect the contact surface. Some examples of use, in a general and non-binding way:

• Mechanical assemblies and fixings on brackets, plates, and supports.
• Plant maintenance (hydraulic and service components) where a wider support washer is useful.
• Fittings and refitting in the nautical field, for interventions on accessories, supports, and small onboard fittings.
• Repairs and hardware replacements where improved support compared to a standard washer is desired.

The choice of the correct washer always depends on the type of fastening, the material of the support, and the geometry of the assembly. If the project or intervention requires a wider support, the “3 times the hole” type is often considered precisely for this characteristic.

Advantages during assembly

• Wider support compared to a standard-sized washer, useful for distributing the tightening over a larger surface.
• Surface protection of contact, reducing the risk of localized marks due to tightening.
• Greater tolerance in the presence of slots or holes with geometries that require a wider coverage (always evaluate the specific case).
• Order and uniformity in assembly, especially when working on plates or brackets where technical aesthetics and repeatability of assembly are important.

In a professional context, small hardware is not a detail: a correct washer contributes to the overall quality of the fastening and ease of intervention in case of disassembly and reassembly.

Usage and selection notes

For correct use, it is good practice to verify dimensional compatibility with the fastening element and the support surface. In particular:

• Hole check: ensure that the washer is suitable for the intended fastening diameter and that the fit is consistent with the assembly.
• Clearance check: check that the outer diameter (format 12×36) is compatible with available spaces, seats, and adjacent components.
• Contact surface: use an adequate support washer when working on surfaces you want to preserve or on supports that benefit from a wider distribution of tightening.
• Supply consistency: for reorder and spare parts management, refer to code R3VF12X36 and the supplier F.LLI MOLINO SRL.
