Value Collection 99743 Sae Flat Washer 7/16 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 99743 is an SAE flat washer designed for use with 7/16-inch screws and fasteners. Made from Grade 8 steel with a plain finish, this washer distributes load across a larger surface area, helping protect mating materials from damage under fastener head pressure. The inside diameter measures 15/32 inches and the outside diameter measures 59/64 inches. It is a standard inch-system fastener component suited for mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and general trade applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and industrial installations.

This SAE flat washer is used wherever a 7/16-inch fastener requires load distribution or surface protection. SAE-dimensioned washers have a tighter outside diameter-to-inside diameter ratio compared to USS washers, making them appropriate for close-tolerance assemblies. Typical applications include equipment mounting, bracket attachment, and panel fastening in residential and commercial mechanical systems. This washer ships in a package quantity of 1, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it suitable for shop stock or job lot purchasing.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding fastener applications
• Plain finish suitable for indoor or protected installations where coating is not required
• SAE dimensions provide a tighter fit profile compared to USS-standard washers
• 15/32-inch ID accommodates 7/16-inch screw shanks with proper clearance
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard SAE fastener sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener component for use with 7/16-inch SAE screws and bolts in standard inch-system mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation of SAE flat washers is performed by any trade professional working with bolted or screwed connections. Always de-energize or shut off the relevant system before accessing fastener points in mechanical or electrical enclosures. Use appropriate hand tools and torque wrenches as specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable code. Do not substitute SAE washers for USS washers in applications where outside diameter clearance is critical without verifying fitment.
