This is a \u003cstrong\u003ehex-head washer\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for \u003cstrong\u003efastening wood-to-wood connections with Outdoor Accents structural wood screws\u003c\/strong\u003e. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eSTN22-R8\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is built for builders and serious DIYers who want the clean, traditional look of a bolted connection without the hassle of full through-bolting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this part matter is the combination of appearance and function. Paired with the Outdoor Accents structural wood screw, this washer provides a structural load-rated solution while giving the connection a finished black hardware look. On exposed work like pergolas, arbors, gazebos, and decorative deck framing, that visual detail makes a real difference because the fastener becomes part of the design instead of something you try to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe patented washer design is there for a reason. Instead of drilling all the way through the member and dealing with bolts, nuts, and extra setup time, you can use the washer with compatible Outdoor Accents structural screws for faster installation. That saves time on site, especially when you are repeating the same connection detail over and over across posts, beams, straps, and angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis washer is made from steel and finished with a black Quik Guard coating for exterior use. The coating is important because this hardware is meant to stay visible outdoors. It also makes the washer a fit for treated lumber applications, which is where a lot of deck and outdoor structure work happens. If you are matching other black Outdoor Accents connectors, post bases, or straps, this washer keeps the whole build looking consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSize-wise, the washer diameter is about 1-1\/2 inches and the hex-head portion is about 1 inch across, so it has enough presence to read like decorative hardware once installed. That larger face helps the connection look intentional on outdoor projects where plain fasteners can look unfinished. It is sold here in an 8-count pack, which makes sense for smaller feature details, repair work, or trimming out a visible section of a larger project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCompatibility is straightforward. Simpson Strong-Tie lists this washer for use with Outdoor Accents structural wood screws, including 3-1\/2 inch and 5-1\/2 inch screw lengths called out in supplemental product data, and specifically notes compatibility with Outdoor Accents decorative hardware. It is also used with post bases, T straps, L straps, and angles in the Outdoor Accents system. If you are already building within that platform, this is the washer that ties the look together and keeps the connection within the intended system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWho should buy it? Anyone building exposed outdoor wood structures where appearance matters almost as much as strength. That includes deck builders, fence and pergola installers, landscape contractors, remodelers, and homeowners doing a backyard structure the right way. If you just need a generic washer, this is overkill. If you want Outdoor Accents hardware to look finished and install faster than through-bolting, this is the right part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-1\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesigned to Look Like Real Decorative Hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/10497950777638_46ade4327c0d.jpg\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie STN22-R8 Outdoor Accents Hex-Head Washer close-up showing the black decorative washer used for exposed outdoor wood connection hardware\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis washer is built for projects where the hardware stays visible.
