Value Collection 93708 Uss Flat Washer 1 in 18-8 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93708 is a USS flat washer designed for use with 1-inch screws and fasteners. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it provides corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. The washer measures 1-1/16 inches inside diameter, 2-1/2 inches outside diameter, and 0.165 inches thick. These dimensions follow USS (United States Standard) sizing, which specifies a larger outer diameter relative to screw size compared to SAE washers. Plumbers, electricians, pipefitters, and general tradespeople use flat washers like this to distribute load across a fastened joint and protect the mating surface from fastener damage.

This washer is suited for residential and light commercial fastening applications where corrosion resistance is required. Common install scenarios include pipe flange connections, HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel anchoring, and general structural hardware assemblies exposed to moisture. The USS series is typically selected when a larger bearing surface is needed. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond a wrench or socket appropriate for the mating fastener. Place the washer between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface before tightening. In electrical or mechanical equipment applications, ensure power is shut off and equipment is de-energized before disassembling or reassembling fastened joints. Follow all applicable codes and torque guidelines specified by the equipment manufacturer or relevant trade standards.
