Value Collection 31802 Fender Flat Washer 1/4 in 18-8 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31802 is a fender flat washer designed for use with 1/4 inch screws and fasteners. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, this washer provides a larger bearing surface than a standard flat washer, distributing load over a wider area to reduce pull-through and surface damage. The 9/32 inch inside diameter fits cleanly over a 1/4 inch fastener shank, while the 1-1/4 inch outside diameter delivers the broad clamping footprint characteristic of fender-style hardware. Grade 18-8 stainless steel offers solid corrosion resistance, making this washer suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications where moisture exposure is a concern.

This washer is commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies where a wide load-bearing surface is required. Typical applications include securing sheet metal panels, equipment housings, conduit supports, and ductwork components. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for installations in humid environments such as mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment, and wet utility spaces. This product is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no specialized tools beyond standard hand or power drivers suited to the mating fastener. Ensure the fastener shank diameter is confirmed as 1/4 inch before assembly to avoid misalignment or improper seating. When used in electrical enclosures or panels, follow applicable NEC guidelines for hardware selection and grounding considerations. De-energize and lock out all electrical circuits before working inside any panel or enclosure.
