Gibraltar Z9208BR Extra Thick Flat Washer Brass 1 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR Z9208BR is an extra thick flat washer sized for 1-inch screws, manufactured from brass with a plain finish. It provides a broad, stable bearing surface that distributes clamping load across a wider area than standard flat washers, reducing fastener pull-through in softer materials. The brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where steel washers would degrade. With an inside diameter of 1.0312 inches, an outside diameter of 2 inches, and a thickness of 0.25 inches, this washer is a straightforward hardware component used by plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors wherever a heavy-bearing brass washer is called for.

This washer is appropriate for residential and light commercial fastening applications involving 1-inch screws or bolts. The extra thickness adds structural depth that is useful in applications where vibration, lateral movement, or repeated fastener cycling could compress or deform a thinner washer. Typical install scenarios include pipe flange assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections where a brass fastener component is required for compatibility or corrosion concerns.

Key Features

• Extra thick profile at 0.25 inches provides enhanced load distribution compared to standard flat washers
• Brass material offers inherent corrosion resistance without additional coating
• Plain finish with no plating or treatment for direct use or secondary finishing
• Inside diameter of 1.0312 inches fits 1-inch screw or bolt shafts with standard clearance
• Outside diameter of 2 inches delivers a wide bearing surface to reduce pull-through
• Inch-system dimensions for straightforward integration with standard fastener hardware

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1-inch screws and bolts in inch-system fastener assemblies requiring an extra thick brass flat washer.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools; no special tooling is required to seat a flat washer. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before assembly to maintain proper clamping force. Brass is a softer metal than steel, so avoid over-torquing the fastener, which can deform the washer and reduce its bearing effectiveness. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for the specific assembly in which this washer is used.
