Value Collection -32580-X Fender Flat Washer Steel Zinc 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -32580-X is a zinc-plated steel fender flat washer sized for 3/8 inch screws. Fender washers feature a larger-than-standard outside diameter, distributing clamp load over a wider surface area to reduce pull-through on softer or thinner materials. This washer measures 7/16 inch inside diameter, 1-1/2 inch outside diameter, and 0.0625 inch thickness. The zinc plating provides a baseline layer of corrosion resistance suited for general indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. Sold in a package of 50 individual washers.

Fender washers in this size range are used across electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical assembly work. Common applications include anchoring sheet metal, securing conduit straps, fastening thin panels, and anywhere a standard flat washer does not provide enough bearing surface. The 3/8 inch screw size is one of the most common fastener diameters encountered in trade work, making this washer a frequent stock item in service vans, job boxes, and shop inventories.

Key Features

• Large 1-1/2 inch outside diameter distributes load and reduces material pull-through

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fender flat washer for use with 3/8 inch screw and bolt fasteners in general mechanical, electrical, and structural assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Install with hand tools standard to the trade — wrenches, nut drivers, or socket sets appropriate to the mating fastener. Position the washer with the flat face seated flush against the work surface before torquing the fastener. For outdoor or wet-location installations, evaluate whether zinc plating alone provides adequate corrosion protection for the service environment. No specialized codes govern washer installation, but fastener assemblies in electrical enclosures must comply with applicable NEC requirements for the overall installation.
