Value Collection FENW0380125OZ Fender Flat Washer 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FENW0380125OZ is a zinc-plated steel fender flat washer designed for use with 3/8-inch fasteners. Fender washers feature a larger outside diameter relative to the inside diameter, distributing load across a wider surface area and reducing pull-through in softer materials or oversized holes. This washer carries a 0.375-inch inside diameter, a 1.25-inch outside diameter, and a 0.125-inch thickness. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty applications. Tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors use fender washers in electrical panel work, plumbing hangers, HVAC equipment mounting, and general structural fastening.

This washer is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a standard flat washer does not offer enough bearing surface. Common installation scenarios include securing conduit straps, mounting equipment brackets, attaching sheet metal panels, and reinforcing connections through wood or drywall. The inch-system dimensions make it a direct fit for standard SAE fastener assemblies. It is typically sold and stocked in bulk quantities to support ongoing service and maintenance work.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fender flat washer for use with 3/8-inch screw and bolt assemblies in general mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate to the fastener type. Ensure the washer is seated flat against the mating surface before tightening to achieve proper load distribution. Zinc-plated hardware is not recommended for sustained exposure to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor environments where a higher-grade finish or stainless material may be required. Verify fastener and washer compatibility with applicable codes such as the NEC or IPC when used in regulated trade applications.
