It features a 2 inch square outer dimension and a 1\/4 inch thickness, providing a wide bearing surface that distributes load evenly across the fastened material. The 7\/16 inch inside diameter seats cleanly over standard 3\/8 inch bolt shanks. Constructed from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this washer resists corrosion in wet or outdoor environments. It is suited for use by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, pool service professionals, and general contractors who require a durable, corrosion-resistant fastener component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis washer is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a large bearing surface is needed to prevent pull-through or surface damage on softer substrates. Common install scenarios include equipment mounting, pipe support bracketing, pool equipment installation, and general structural fastening where stainless hardware is specified. The square profile increases surface contact compared to round washers of similar bolt sizing, making it a practical choice for framing, strut, and panel applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 inch square outer dimension provides increased load distribution over round washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/16 inch inside diameter fits standard 3\/8 inch bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch thickness adds rigidity under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances and is compatible with stainless fastener assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard hardware component for use with 3\/8 inch bolt assemblies requiring a square flat washer configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by the applicable licensed trade or general contractor per project specifications.
