Value Collection 36768 Uss Flat Washer 7/16 in Steel Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36768 is a USS flat washer designed for use with 7/16 inch fasteners in general mechanical and structural assembly applications. Manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish, this washer provides corrosion resistance while distributing load across the bearing surface. With an inside diameter of 0.5 inches, an outside diameter of 1.25 inches, and a thickness of approximately 0.078 inches (5/64 inches), it meets USS dimensional standards for inch-series hardware. This washer is a staple component for plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC mechanics, and general contractors working with bolted connections.

This washer is suited for use in residential and commercial construction, mechanical equipment mounting, pipe flange assemblies, electrical enclosure installations, and HVAC equipment fastening. The larger outer diameter relative to the fastener size follows USS standards, making it appropriate where load distribution across a wider bearing surface is required. The zinc yellow dichromate coating provides a suitable level of corrosion protection for most indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7/16 inch USS-standard bolts and screws in inch-series fastener assemblies across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate to the fastener type and torque requirements of the assembly. Always power down or de-energize equipment before disassembling bolted joints on electrical or HVAC components. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IFGC when incorporating hardware into regulated system assemblies. Do not substitute this washer in applications requiring metric-series hardware or SAE flat washer dimensions.
