Value Collection AHSW050OY Sae Flat Washer 1/2 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION AHSW050OY is a 1/2 inch screw-size SAE flat washer made from steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. SAE flat washers provide a wider bearing surface than USS types, distributing load and reducing fastener pull-through on standard bolted connections. This washer measures 17/32 inches inside diameter, 1-1/16 inches outside diameter, and 3/32 inches thick. The yellow dichromate zinc coating adds a layer of corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose mechanical and structural fastening applications. The Grade 8 material rating indicates high-strength steel construction, making this washer appropriate for demanding mechanical assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, and general trade work.

This washer is used in a wide range of residential and commercial trade installations where a 1/2 inch bolt or screw requires a flat bearing surface. Common applications include equipment mounting, pipe hanger assemblies, electrical panel and conduit support structures, and general mechanical fastening tasks. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it well suited for contractors and service technicians who need consistent fastener stock on hand.
