Value Collection -36702-HD 5/16 in Sae Flat Washer Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -36702-HD is a 5/16 inch SAE flat washer made from Grade 8 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. SAE flat washers provide a broad bearing surface under bolt heads and nuts, distributing load and reducing the risk of fastener pull-through or surface damage. The zinc yellow dichromate coating offers corrosion resistance in moderately demanding environments. This washer follows the SAE standard for outer diameter and thickness, making it a reliable choice for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This washer is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial fastening assemblies where a 5/16 inch fastener is specified. Common applications include equipment mounting, pipe support systems, electrical panel and conduit anchoring, HVAC equipment fastening, and general mechanical assemblies requiring SAE-dimensioned hardware. The Grade 8 steel construction makes it appropriate for higher-strength fastening requirements where a standard Grade 5 or Grade 2 washer would be undersized for the load.

Key Features

• SAE flat washer profile provides wide load-bearing surface for 5/16 inch fasteners
• Grade 8 steel construction for high-strength fastening applications
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish for corrosion resistance in moderate environments
• Inch measurement system — compatible with standard SAE hardware
• Sold in multiples of 100 units — suitable for production and service inventory stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/16 inch SAE-standard fasteners including hex bolts, cap screws, and hex nuts in inch-dimensioned assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople as part of standard fastening assemblies. Always de-energize electrical systems and shut off fluid or gas supplies before servicing any equipment where fasteners are being replaced or installed. Use the appropriate torque specification for the fastener and application per the equipment manufacturer guidelines. Do not substitute SAE washers for metric fastener applications, as dimensional differences may compromise joint integrity.
