Value Collection 30708 Sae Flat Washer No. 10 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 30708 is an SAE flat washer designed for use with No. 10 screws. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel with a plain finish, this washer provides reliable load distribution and corrosion resistance in fastener assemblies. It measures 7/32 inches inner diameter and 1/2 inch outer diameter, with a thickness of 0.0490 inches. The 316 stainless steel grade offers strong resistance to chlorides and oxidizing environments, making it well suited for marine, plumbing, and outdoor applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and maintenance professionals install this type of washer during equipment assembly and structural fastening work.

This SAE flat washer is appropriate for both light commercial and residential fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. It is sized to the SAE standard, providing a narrower outer diameter than USS-specification washers of the same screw size. Typical uses include securing panels, pipe hangers, equipment mounting brackets, and general mechanical assemblies. The plain finish leaves the stainless steel surface uncoated, preserving the natural corrosion-resistant properties of the 316 alloy.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and wet environments
• SAE standard sizing for No. 10 screws with 7/32 inch inner diameter and 1/2 inch outer diameter
• Plain finish retains natural 316 alloy corrosion resistance without coatings
• 0.0490 inch thickness provides consistent load distribution under fastener heads
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per washer, suitable for high-volume fastening tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an SAE-standard flat washer for use with No. 10 machine screws, sheet metal screws, and similar fasteners requiring a 7/32 inch minimum clearance hole and 1/2 inch bearing surface.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no specialized tools beyond standard hand or power drivers. Place the washer between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface before tightening. Ensure the fastener and all mating hardware are compatible in material grade to avoid galvanic corrosion. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes for fastener assembly torque requirements.
