Value Collection 93761 No. 6 Flat Washer 18-8 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93761 is a standard flat washer sized for No. 6 screws, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It features a 5/32-inch inner diameter, a 3/8-inch outer diameter, and a 0.049-inch thickness. Flat washers distribute clamping load across a fastened joint, protect the mating surface from fastener rotation, and help prevent loosening under vibration. The 18-8 grade stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and outdoor applications. This washer conforms to ASME B18.22.1 1965 for inch-series flat washers and is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This washer is used wherever a No. 6 screw requires a standard load-distribution interface. Typical applications include light mechanical assemblies, electrical panel and enclosure hardware, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing fixture mounting, and general trade fastening tasks. Its small profile and stainless construction make it a common stock item for service vans, job boxes, and shop bins. Installers working in damp or corrosive environments often prefer 18-8 stainless hardware over zinc-plated alternatives for long-term joint integrity.

Installation Notes

This washer is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade mechanics as part of standard fastening assemblies. Place the washer over the fastener shank before driving to ensure proper seating against the mating surface. No special tooling is required; standard hand tools apply. Inspect the mating surface for burrs or debris that could cause the washer to seat unevenly and compromise clamping load distribution.
