Value Collection 93765 Flat Washer 1/4 in 18-8 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93765 is a standard flat washer designed for use with 1/4 inch screws and fasteners. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel, this washer provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. It meets ASME B18.22.1 1965 dimensional standards, ensuring consistent fitment across compatible hardware. With a 9/32 inch inside diameter, 5/8 inch outside diameter, and a thickness of 0.065 inches, it distributes load evenly under bolt and screw heads to protect mating surfaces and prevent fastener pull-through. Installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors as part of standard mechanical assemblies.

This flat washer suits a wide range of trade applications including equipment mounting, panel assembly, pipe support brackets, and general structural fastening where corrosion resistance is required. The 18-8 stainless steel grade is appropriate for environments with moisture exposure, making it a common choice in plumbing rough-in work, HVAC equipment installations, and electrical enclosure assembly. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.
