Value Collection 36765 Uss Flat Washer 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36765 is a USS flat washer designed for use with 1/4 inch screws and fasteners. Made from steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish, this washer distributes load across a bearing surface to protect the mated material and reduce the risk of fastener pull-through. The zinc yellow dichromate coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical applications. With a 5/16 inch inside diameter, 3/4 inch outside diameter, and 1/16 inch thickness, this washer meets standard USS dimensional specifications. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople across a wide range of assembly and repair tasks.

This USS flat washer is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a standard inch-series washer is required. Typical uses include pipe support hardware, panel mounting, structural fastening, and general mechanical assembly. The wider outer diameter of a USS washer compared to a SAE washer makes it the preferred choice when greater load distribution or a larger bearing surface is needed. The steel construction and dichromate finish make it appropriate for indoor and protected outdoor use where moderate corrosion resistance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no specialty tools beyond standard hand tools appropriate to the fastener type. Ensure the fastener and washer are compatible in size and grade before assembly. Always torque fasteners to the specification required by the assembly drawing or governing code. For corrosive or outdoor environments, verify that the zinc yellow dichromate finish is appropriate for the exposure conditions before use.
