Value Collection AHFW038OY Uss Flat Washer 3/8 Inch Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION AHFW038OY is a USS flat washer designed for use with 3/8 inch fasteners. Manufactured from steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for general mechanical and structural applications. The washer measures 7/16 inch inside diameter, 1 inch outside diameter, and 5/64 inch thickness, conforming to USS (United States Standard) dimensional specifications. Material Grade 8 construction supports use in higher-load fastening assemblies. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use washers of this type when distributing load across a bolted joint or protecting a surface from fastener damage.

This washer is appropriate for residential and commercial trade applications wherever a 3/8 inch screw or bolt requires a standard USS-series flat washer. Common install scenarios include equipment mounting, pipe hanger assemblies, electrical panel work, and structural bracketing. The zinc yellow dichromate finish distinguishes these from plain zinc or unfinished steel washers and helps resist surface oxidation in moderately exposed environments. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making them practical for stocking a service vehicle or shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand or power tools appropriate for the fastener type. Ensure the washer seats flat against the bearing surface before torquing the fastener. Inspect for burrs or deformation before installation to avoid compromising joint integrity. No special certifications or licenses are required for general fastener installation, though the surrounding assembly must comply with applicable codes such as NEC for electrical or IPC for plumbing work.
