Value Collection 36704 Sae Flat Washer 7/16 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36704 is an SAE flat washer designed for use with 7/16 inch screws and fasteners. Manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish, this washer distributes load across a fastened joint and helps prevent pull-through on bolted connections. The dichromate coating provides a base level of corrosion resistance suited to general industrial, mechanical, and trade service environments. With a 15/32 inch inside diameter, a 59/64 inch outside diameter, and a 1/16 inch thickness, this washer meets SAE dimensional standards for its screw size class. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use SAE flat washers in equipment mounting, bracket assembly, and structural fastening applications.

This washer is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial applications wherever a 7/16 inch fastener requires a standard SAE bearing surface. Common installation scenarios include equipment bases, ductwork supports, panel mounting, and pipe hanger assemblies. The SAE designation indicates a narrower outside diameter profile compared to USS flat washers, making this style preferred when a tighter washer footprint is needed around a fastener head or nut.

Key Features

• SAE flat washer profile for 7/16 inch screw size
• Grade 8 steel construction for high-strength fastening applications
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish for corrosion resistance
• 15/32 inch inside diameter and 59/64 inch outside diameter
• 1/16 inch thickness meets SAE dimensional standards
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard SAE fastener sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service washer for use with 7/16 inch SAE fasteners in residential and light commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations.

Installation Notes

SAE flat washers are installed by general tradespeople and maintenance technicians as part of bolted fastener assemblies. Always ensure the inside diameter clears the fastener shank without binding and that the outside diameter provides adequate bearing surface for the application. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment before working on mounting assemblies in live panels or equipment enclosures. Follow applicable NEC or local mechanical code requirements for fastener type and torque in structural or equipment mounting contexts.
