Value Collection 88513783 Sae Flat Washer No. 8 Steel Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88513783 is a No. 8 screw SAE flat washer manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. SAE flat washers provide a bearing surface that distributes fastener load and reduces the risk of surface damage during assembly. This washer measures 0.183 inches inside diameter, 0.450 inches outside diameter, and 0.067 inches thick. The zinc plating adds corrosion resistance for use in both indoor and light outdoor applications. Each package contains 200 washers, making it a practical choice for high-volume mechanical, electrical, and trade assembly work where consistent hardware supply matters.

SAE flat washers in the No. 8 screw size see regular use in HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel work, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical fastening. The SAE standard calls for a narrower outside diameter compared to USS-pattern washers, which suits tighter clearance applications and thinner material stacking. This washer is appropriate for residential and light commercial work wherever a No. 8 fastener requires a load-spreading bearing surface.

Key Features

• SAE pattern: 0.450 inches outside diameter suits tight-clearance fastening applications
• Inside diameter of 0.183 inches fits No. 8 screws without excessive play
• Thickness of 0.067 inches provides consistent load distribution across the washer face
• Grade 2 steel construction balances strength and formability for general-purpose use
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for typical indoor and light-duty outdoor environments
• 200-piece package quantity supports production assembly and service van stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use with No. 8 screws following SAE flat washer standards in inch-measurement fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, and general trade assembly.

Installation Notes

Flat washers are installed by a wide range of trades including electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers as part of standard fastening procedures. Always de-energize equipment and follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer lockout requirements before disassembling or reassembling fastened components. Use the correct driver or wrench size to avoid damaging the washer or the mating surface. Do not substitute SAE-pattern washers in applications that specify USS or structural washer dimensions without verifying clearance and load requirements.
