Value Collection C82953 Sae Flat Washer 1/2 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C82953 is an SAE flat washer designed for use with 1/2 inch screws and bolts. Manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this washer distributes load across the fastener bearing surface to reduce pull-through and protect mating material. The inside diameter measures 17/32 inches, the outside diameter measures 1-1/16 inches, and the thickness is 7/64 inches. The zinc coating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light outdoor mechanical assemblies. This washer is a standard hardware component installed by mechanical contractors, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople across a wide range of applications.

This SAE flat washer is suited for general-purpose fastening tasks in residential and light commercial construction, equipment assembly, HVAC mounting applications, and electrical panel work. SAE washers conform to tighter dimensional tolerances compared to USS washers, making them appropriate where a closer fit around the fastener shank is required. The zinc-plated finish makes this washer compatible with zinc-coated or galvanized fastener assemblies commonly found in trade applications.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for reliable strength in standard fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance
• SAE dimensional standard with 17/32 inch ID and 1-1/16 inch OD
• 7/64 inch thickness suits typical bolted joint stack-ups
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard US fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE flat washer for use with 1/2 inch screw and bolt assemblies in general mechanical, construction, and trade fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Install by placing the washer over the fastener shank before seating the nut or bolt head against the work surface. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before assembly. No special tools are required beyond standard wrenches or sockets appropriate to the fastener being used. Follow applicable mechanical codes and torque guidelines specified by the equipment or structure manufacturer.
