Value Collection -36715-HD Sae Flat Washer 1/2 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -36715-HD is a 1/2 inch SAE flat washer machined from steel and finished with a zinc yellow dichromate coating. SAE flat washers provide a broader bearing surface than USS washers, distributing load more evenly across the fastened joint and reducing the risk of pull-through on softer base materials. The zinc yellow dichromate finish delivers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical applications. This washer meets Material Grade 8 standards and is sized to the inch measurement system. It is commonly installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople wherever a 1/2 inch fastener requires a load-spreading washer.

This washer is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, pipe hanger hardware, and structural fastening applications that call for an SAE-series washer on a 1/2 inch screw or bolt. The zinc yellow dichromate finish makes it suitable for indoor and moderately corrosive environments. It ships in a package quantity of one washer, with a minimum order quantity of 150 pieces, making it practical for bulk stocking in shop or service-vehicle inventory.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service washer for use with 1/2 inch screws and bolts in residential and light commercial mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical applications.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools; ensure the washer seats flat against the base material before torquing the fastener. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing fastened assemblies in electrical or mechanical panels. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IFGC as relevant to the installation context. Do not substitute this washer in structural connections requiring a specific ASTM or SAE grade designation unless confirmed compatible by engineering review.
