Value Collection 448002PR Sae Flat Washer 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 448002PR is a 1/4 inch screw size SAE flat washer made from steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. SAE flat washers provide a larger bearing surface than standard washers, distributing load and reducing fastener pull-through on bolted connections. The zinc yellow dichromate coating provides corrosion resistance and is visually identifiable by its distinctive yellow tint. Material grade 9 steel construction delivers consistent tensile performance under mechanical load. This washer is sized to the SAE standard for 1/4 inch fasteners and is measured in the inch system of measurement.

This flat washer is used across a wide range of trade applications including HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture mounting, electrical panel and enclosure work, and general mechanical fastening. It is well suited for structural and light mechanical connections where load distribution across a joint face is required. The zinc yellow dichromate finish makes these washers appropriate for use in moderately corrosive or outdoor-exposed environments where bare steel would be inadequate.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate for 1/4 inch fastener assemblies. Ensure the washer is seated flat against the mating surface before torquing the fastener to specification. Inspect finish for damage prior to installation in corrosive environments. No special trade certification is required for general fastener installation, though applicable mechanical and electrical codes should always be followed.
