Au-ve-co Products 23442 M12 Aluminum Standard Flat Washer

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 23442 is a metric standard flat washer machined from aluminum, designed for use with M12 screws and bolts. It measures 14mm inside diameter by 20mm outside diameter with a thickness of 1.5mm. The aluminum construction keeps weight low and resists corrosion in applications where steel would be unsuitable. This type of washer distributes fastener load across a surface, reduces fastener pull-through, and protects mating material from damage during assembly. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors wherever M12 metric fasteners are used in equipment assembly or structural mounting.

This washer is suited for light- to medium-duty metric fastening applications across HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical installations. Its aluminum material makes it a practical choice in environments where galvanic compatibility with aluminum base materials is a priority, or where overall assembly weight is a factor. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric replacement or maintenance washer for any application requiring an M12 flat washer with a 14mm ID and 20mm OD in aluminum.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate for M12 metric fasteners. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the washer. Avoid mixing aluminum washers with steel fasteners in highly corrosive or high-stress environments where galvanic corrosion or shear forces may be a concern. Follow applicable mechanical or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the fastener assembly.
