Value Collection 14WFAL Standard Flat Washer 1/4 Inch Aluminum

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 14WFAL is a standard flat washer manufactured from aluminum, designed for use with 1/4 inch screws. Flat washers distribute the load of a fastener across a wider surface area, reducing the risk of damage to the mating material and preventing pull-through in softer substrates. This washer measures 0.264 inches inside diameter, 0.689 inches outside diameter, and 0.048 inches thick. The aluminum construction makes it well suited for applications where weight savings or corrosion resistance to moisture and mild chemicals is a priority. It conforms to inch-system dimensional standards.

This washer is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical panel fabrication, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture installation, and general trade applications where a standard flat washer is required. The aluminum material is a common choice in outdoor, marine-adjacent, and corrosive environments where steel washers may corrode prematurely. Installation is straightforward and does not require special tooling beyond standard hand or power fastening equipment.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction offers lightweight performance and resistance to rust and corrosion
• Inside diameter of 0.264 inches fits standard 1/4 inch fasteners
• Outside diameter of 0.689 inches provides adequate load distribution
• Thickness of 0.048 inches meets standard flat washer dimensional requirements
• Inch-system dimensions for compatibility with standard imperial fastener specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension flat washer for use with 1/4 inch screw fasteners in inch-system assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Install by placing the washer over the fastener shank before driving into the mating material. Aluminum washers should not be used in assemblies where galvanic corrosion with dissimilar metals is a concern without appropriate isolation. Hand-tighten to seat the washer flush before applying final torque to the fastener. Follow applicable trade codes and manufacturer fastener specifications for the surrounding assembly.
