Value Collection 99744 Sae Flat Washer 1/2 in Steel Plain

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 99744 is a 1/2 inch screw size SAE flat washer made from Grade 8 steel with a plain finish. SAE flat washers distribute load across a fastened joint, protecting surfaces from damage under bolt or nut bearing loads. This washer features a 17/32 inch inner diameter and a 1-1/16 inch outer diameter, conforming to SAE dimensional standards. Grade 8 steel construction provides high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. The plain finish is uncoated bare steel, appropriate for indoor or protected applications or where a secondary coating will be applied by the installer. Tradespeople and maintenance technicians commonly use SAE flat washers in HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel installations, plumbing fixture work, and general mechanical assembly.

This washer is suited for use with 1/2 inch fasteners in residential and commercial trade applications. Common installation scenarios include securing HVAC unit mounting brackets, anchoring electrical enclosures, and assembling plumbing support structures. The SAE flat washer profile provides a wider bearing surface than USS or narrow-pattern alternatives, making it a preferred choice when joint surface protection or load spreading is a priority. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order, sold as individual units per package.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding assemblies
• SAE dimensional standard with 17/32 inch ID and 1-1/16 inch OD
• Plain finish bare steel surface compatible with secondary coatings or indoor use
• 1/2 inch screw size for use with standard 1/2 inch fasteners
• Wide bearing surface distributes clamp load and protects mating surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch screw or bolt fasteners in standard SAE flat washer applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate for the fastener size. Ensure the washer seats flat against the mating surface with no debris between contact faces. Plain finish steel washers are not corrosion resistant and should not be used in direct outdoor exposure or wet environments without a protective coating or corrosion-resistant alternative. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the fastener being used.
