My old washing machine started dancing across the laundry room floor again last week. The vibrations from the spin cycle were just too much for the regular bolts I’d used to replace the lost feet. A friend, who tinkers with cars, came over to help. He took one look and pulled a different bolt from his toolbox. This one had a wide, integrated washer built right under the head. Let's try a flange bolt here, he said. It needs to handle the shake.After a test run, the machine hummed quietly in place.

The built-on flange is the key. It acts like a permanent, sturdy washer that won't get lost. As we tightened it, the wide base distributed the clamping force over a much larger area of the machine's thin metal foot. This created a more stable footprint and gripped much more securely than the standard bolt and separate washer ever did. In places where shaking is the norm, like under the hood of a car, around humming machinery, or in your plumbing, the flange bolt steps up. It’s the reliable, no-fuss fix that holds tight where others might call it quits. Two parts in one, twice the staying power.

This focus on practical, vibration-resistant fastening is essential in many industries. Companies like Handan Wangxuan Fastener Manufacturing support these needs by producing a variety of specialized bolts, including flange types, for sectors from appliance repair to broader industrial assembly.
