Value Collection AHSW025OY Sae Flat Washer 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION AHSW025OY is a 1/4 inch SAE flat washer manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. SAE flat washers provide a larger bearing surface than standard USS washers, distributing fastener load across a broader area to reduce pull-through and surface damage. The yellow dichromate coating delivers corrosion resistance and is visually distinguishable from uncoated or clear-zinc hardware. This washer is sized with a 9/32 inch inner diameter, 5/8 inch outer diameter, and 1/16 inch thickness, conforming to SAE dimensional standards. It is used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies by trade professionals and maintenance technicians.

This washer is suited for residential and light commercial fastening applications where a 1/4 inch screw or bolt is used. Common install scenarios include equipment panel mounting, ductwork attachment, pipe hanger assemblies, and structural bracketing in mechanical systems. The zinc yellow dichromate finish makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive environments. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it practical for stocking in trade shops, service vans, and maintenance supply rooms.

Power down or de-energize any electrical or mechanical system before disassembling fastened components. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the associated fastener.
