Value Collection 36707 Sae Flat Washer 5/8 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36707 is a 5/8 inch screw size SAE flat washer manufactured from steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. SAE flat washers distribute load across a fastened joint, reducing surface damage and preventing pull-through on bolted assemblies. This washer carries a material grade 8 designation, indicating a hardened steel construction suited for high-load mechanical and structural applications. The zinc yellow dichromate coating provides corrosion resistance in environments where bare steel would oxidize. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors regularly use SAE flat washers throughout equipment installation, pipe hanger assemblies, and panel mounting work.

This washer is appropriate for use in residential and commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations wherever a 5/8 inch fastener requires a load-spreading washer. The SAE standard specifies a narrower outside diameter than USS flat washers, making this series the correct choice when compact bearing surface geometry is required. Typical applications include equipment base fastening, structural steel connections, conduit support hardware, and general maintenance tasks across trade disciplines.

Key Features

• SAE flat washer profile provides a compact outside diameter suitable for tight fastener spacing
• Material grade 8 steel construction supports high-load and high-torque bolted joint applications
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish delivers corrosion resistance over bare steel
• 21/32 inch inside diameter provides clean clearance fit over 5/8 inch fasteners
• 3/32 inch thickness maintains a low-profile stack height in confined assemblies
• Inch measurement system; UNSPSC Code 31161807 for procurement classification

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/8 inch screw and bolt fasteners conforming to SAE flat washer dimensional standards. Verify inside diameter clearance and outside diameter bearing surface requirements against the specific fastener and joint being assembled before installation.

Installation Notes

SAE flat washers are installed by qualified tradespeople as part of bolted mechanical, structural, or equipment-mounting assemblies. Ensure the fastener, washer, and base material are compatible in material grade to avoid galvanic corrosion or strength mismatch. Follow applicable codes, including NEC and IPC requirements where relevant to the installation type, and confirm torque requirements from the equipment or structural specifications being followed. Do not substitute SAE washers for USS washers without confirming outside diameter requirements for the joint design.
