- What does 1/8 IP mean on these washers?
- It is the center hole size, about 3/8 inch, sized to slip over standard 1/8 IP lamp pipe and nipples.
- Which outside diameter should I pick?
- Match the surface you are padding: the smallest for narrow fittings, the largest for wide bases and shade rings. The hole and thickness are the same on all three.
- Will felt washers hold a lamp together?
- No. They are pads, not structural washers. The nut and pipe still carry the load; the felt just softens contact with glass or finish.
- Can I use them outdoors or where they get wet?
- Felt absorbs moisture and can mat down. For damp locations a nylon or rubber washer holds up better.
- Are these the same as a rubber washer?
- No. Felt is softer and grips gently, which suits glass and decorative finishes. Rubber seals and resists water but is firmer.
