Value Collection 30709 Sae Flat Washer 316 Ss No. 12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 30709 is an SAE flat washer sized for Number 12 screws, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a plain finish. It measures 0.25 inches inside diameter, 0.5625 inches outside diameter, and 0.065 inches thick. Grade 316 stainless provides strong resistance to corrosion and chloride exposure, making this washer a dependable choice in wet, marine, or chemically aggressive environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and marine service professionals use washers like this to distribute load and protect mating surfaces on fastened assemblies.

This washer is suited for residential and commercial applications where corrosion resistance is a primary concern. Typical install scenarios include pipe supports, equipment mounting brackets, outdoor electrical enclosures, pool and spa equipment, and any fastened joint exposed to moisture or chemical wash-down. The SAE standard dimensions make it a common choice where a narrower outside diameter is preferred over the wider USS pattern.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate to the fastener being used. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the washer. When used in potable water or food-contact systems, verify that all materials in the assembly meet applicable code requirements. Do not mix stainless steel washers with carbon steel fasteners in corrosive environments, as galvanic interaction may occur.
