Value Collection 31413 Uss Flat Washer 3/8 in Steel Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31413 is a USS flat washer designed for use with 3/8 inch screws and fasteners. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, this washer distributes load across a bearing surface to protect the material being fastened and reduce the risk of pull-through. With an inside diameter of 7/16 inches, an outside diameter of 1 inch, and a thickness of 0.0781 inches, it conforms to USS (United States Standard) dimensional specifications. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use USS flat washers as standard hardware components in both structural and mechanical assemblies.

This washer is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a standard USS-series flat washer is required. Common uses include pipe hangers, equipment mounting, panel fastening, and general mechanical assembly work. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and protected outdoor installations. It is sold individually, making it easy to source single units for service and repair work.
