Value Collection 99760 Uss Flat Washer 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 99760 is a USS-pattern flat washer designed for use with 1/4 inch screws. Manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a plain finish, it provides load distribution across a bearing surface and helps prevent fastener pull-through in structural and mechanical assemblies. The washer measures 5/16 inches inside diameter and 3/4 inches outside diameter, conforming to USS dimensional standards. It is a standard hardware component installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical trades wherever a wider bearing surface is needed under a nut or bolt head.

This washer is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing applications. Its USS sizing means it has a larger outside diameter than SAE equivalents of the same screw size, making it a preferred choice when working with softer materials or oversized clearance holes. Typical use cases include equipment mounting, panel attachment, pipe support bracketing, and general structural fastening tasks encountered in trade service and installation work.

Key Features

• USS flat washer pattern provides a wider outside diameter compared to SAE equivalents for improved load distribution
• Grade 8 steel construction for strength in mechanical and structural fastening applications
• Plain finish suitable for interior applications and further coating or treatment as needed
• 5/16 inch inside diameter with 3/4 inch outside diameter sized for 1/4 inch screws
• Inch measurement system conforming to USS dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard hardware component for use with 1/4 inch screw fasteners in residential and light commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing assemblies.

Installation Notes

This washer is installed by hand or with standard wrenches and socket sets as part of a fastener assembly. Always ensure the inside diameter clears the fastener shank freely without forcing. Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the fastener assembly, and select appropriate hardware for outdoor or corrosive environments where plain finish may be insufficient. No special tools or trade licenses are required for installation of standard flat washers.
