Value Collection 448006PR Sae Flat Washer 3/8 Inch Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 448006PR is a 3/8 inch SAE flat washer manufactured from steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. SAE flat washers provide a wider bearing surface than standard washers, distributing clamp load across a larger area to protect the mating surface and prevent fastener pull-through. The zinc yellow dichromate coating provides corrosion resistance and is identifiable by its characteristic yellow iridescent appearance. This washer is suited for general mechanical and structural fastening tasks encountered in trade, maintenance, and equipment assembly work.

This washer fits 3/8 inch screw and bolt fasteners and is dimensioned to SAE standards, making it appropriate for use in HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture mounting, electrical enclosure work, and general mechanical maintenance applications. The SAE profile is commonly specified where a wider load-bearing footprint is required compared to a USS or narrow-pattern washer. Technicians and maintenance professionals working on equipment requiring corrosion-resistant hardware will find this washer compatible with standard 3/8 inch fastener installations.

Key Features

• SAE flat washer profile provides wider bearing surface than narrow-pattern washers
• Steel construction with Material Grade 9 for reliable mechanical performance
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish delivers corrosion resistance in exposed environments
• 3/8 inch screw size fits standard 3/8 inch bolts and fasteners
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard SAE fastener specifications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch SAE-standard bolts and screws in inch-measurement fastening applications across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work.

Installation Notes

Install by placing the washer over the fastener shank against the mating surface before seating the nut or bolt head. Ensure the washer sits flat with no debris between the washer and the mating surface to maintain even load distribution. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications and relevant codes for the assembly being serviced.
