Value Collection 36714 Sae Flat Washer 7/16 in Steel Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36714 is a Grade 8 steel SAE flat washer designed for 7/16 inch screw sizes. It carries a zinc yellow dichromate finish that provides corrosion resistance in general-purpose fastening applications. With an inside diameter of 15/32 inches, an outside diameter of 59/64 inches, and a thickness of 1/16 inch, this washer conforms to SAE dimensional standards. It is used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors wherever load distribution under a bolt head or nut is required. The Grade 8 material rating indicates high-strength steel construction suited for demanding mechanical connections.

This washer is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications involving structural fastening, equipment mounting, and utility connections. It fits standard 7/16 inch fastener assemblies and is measured in the inch system of measurement. The SAE flat washer profile provides a broader bearing surface than USS alternatives of the same nominal screw size, making it well suited for softer base materials or applications requiring tighter dimensional tolerances.
