Value Collection 30707 Sae Flat Washer No 8 SS316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 30707 is an SAE flat washer designed for use with number 8 screws. It is manufactured from 316 stainless steel with a plain finish, offering strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemical-exposure environments. The washer measures 3/16 inches inside diameter and 7/16 inches outside diameter, with a thickness of 0.049 inches. SAE flat washers like this one distribute fastener load across a wider surface area, reducing the risk of pull-through and surface damage. Licensed tradespeople in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical fields rely on hardware meeting precise dimensional standards for reliable assemblies.

This washer is suited for light-duty fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority, including plumbing fixtures, pool and spa equipment, marine hardware, and outdoor electrical enclosures. The 316 stainless steel grade performs well in chloride-rich environments, making it a common choice for coastal installations and pool service work. It is used anywhere a number 8 fastener requires a bearing surface to spread clamp load or protect the mating material.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and wet environments
• SAE dimensional standard with 3/16 inch inside diameter and 7/16 inch outside diameter
• 0.049 inch thickness for consistent load distribution under number 8 screw heads
• Plain finish with no coating to add or flake in corrosive service conditions
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per piece, minimizing added weight in finished assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with number 8 screws following SAE flat washer dimensional standards. Suitable for use in stainless or corrosion-resistant fastener assemblies where a 3/16 inch inside diameter bearing washer is required.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate for the fastener type. Ensure the washer is seated flat against the mating surface before torquing the fastener. When assembling in corrosive or submerged environments, pair with compatible stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion. Follow applicable mechanical and plumbing codes for fastener selection and torque requirements.
