Value Collection 3SWFD908 Fender Flat Washer 1/2 in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3SWFD908 is a fender flat washer designed for 1/2 inch screws, manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. With an outside diameter of 2 inches and a thickness of 0.06 inches, this washer distributes load over a wider bearing surface than standard flat washers — a characteristic that makes fender washers the right choice when fastening into soft materials, oversized holes, or sheet stock. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade contractors install these when a larger bearing area is needed to prevent pull-through or surface damage.

This washer is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a 1/2 inch fastener requires added load distribution. Common install scenarios include securing conduit straps, pipe hangers, HVAC equipment panels, ductwork brackets, and pool equipment enclosures. The 18-8 stainless steel composition makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use, including environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact where carbon steel hardware would corrode.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Large 2 inch outside diameter provides broad load distribution to prevent fastener pull-through
• 17/32 inch inside diameter fits 1/2 inch screw shanks with standard clearance
• 0.06 inch thickness maintains a low profile while providing structural bearing surface
• Inch measurement system; compatible with standard Imperial fastener sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard hardware fitting for use with 1/2 inch screw or bolt fasteners in residential and commercial trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate for the fastener being used. Always power down electrical equipment and shut off water or fluid supply before servicing any system where fasteners are being replaced or added. Confirm the washer inside diameter seats flush against the fastener shank without binding before torquing. Stainless steel fasteners and washers are susceptible to galling — use anti-seize compound when pairing with stainless bolts and nuts.
