Value Collection 50WFAL Aluminum Flat Washer 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 50WFAL is a standard flat washer machined from aluminum, sized for 1/2 inch screws and fasteners. It provides load distribution across a clamped surface, reducing the risk of pull-through and surface damage in bolted assemblies. With an inside diameter of 0.562 inches, an outside diameter of 1.25 inches, and a thickness of 0.089 inches, this washer meets standard inch-series dimensional requirements. Aluminum construction keeps weight low while offering natural corrosion resistance, making it a practical choice wherever steel hardware would be over-specified or would create a galvanic compatibility issue.

This washer is suited for light- to medium-duty fastener assemblies across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC panel work. Typical applications include equipment mounting, enclosure assembly, conduit fittings, sheet metal work, and general maintenance tasks where a 1/2 inch fastener requires a bearing surface. The aluminum material makes it appropriate for use in environments where moisture exposure or contact with dissimilar metals makes steel a poor choice. Sold in single-package units with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance and low weight
• 0.562 inch inside diameter fits standard 1/2 inch screws and bolts
• 1.25 inch outside diameter provides broad load-bearing surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series flat washer for use with 1/2 inch screws and bolts in general mechanical, electrical, and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Install between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface to distribute clamping load. Ensure the inside diameter clears the fastener shank without binding. Aluminum washers are softer than steel and should not be used in high-torque applications where washer deformation under load is a concern. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical code requirements for the specific assembly being fastened.
