Value Collection -31430-1 Flat Washers

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -31430-1 is a flat washer used to distribute load across a fastened joint. Flat washers reduce surface damage, prevent loosening, and provide a smooth bearing surface between a fastener head or nut and the mating material. This hardware component is installed during mechanical assembly, plumbing rough-in, electrical panel work, and HVAC equipment mounting. Licensed tradespeople and contractors use flat washers wherever fastener pull-through or surface marring is a concern.

Flat washers of this type are commonly used in residential and light commercial construction and mechanical installations. They serve as standard hardware in equipment mounting, ductwork attachment, access panel fastening, and general structural assembly. The package contains one washer per unit, making it suited for low-quantity or single-fastener applications.

Key Features

• Distributes clamping load to protect mating surfaces
• Reduces risk of fastener pull-through on softer materials
• Compatible with standard bolt and screw installations
• Single-unit packaging for precise quantity control

Compatibility

Designed as a standard flat washer replacement for general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Flat washers are installed by the appropriate licensed trade depending on application — HVAC technicians, plumbers, or electricians. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off fluid systems before servicing fastened connections. Use the correct fastener size to match washer inner diameter. Do not substitute a washer for a lock washer where vibration resistance is specified.
