Value Collection FNWIS05001500-050BX Fender Washer 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FNWIS05001500-050BX is a zinc-plated steel fender flat washer sized for 1/2 inch screws. It features a 1/2 inch inside diameter, a 1-1/2 inch outside diameter, and a 0.08 inch thickness. The oversized outer diameter is the defining characteristic of a fender washer — it spreads clamp load over a wider surface area than a standard flat washer, reducing pull-through in thin or soft materials. This box quantity of 50 is suited for contractors, maintenance crews, and tradespeople who need reliable hardware in volume for mechanical, structural, or utility fastening applications.

Fender washers in this size are commonly used in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and general mechanical installations where a larger bearing surface is needed at a fastener point. Typical applications include securing conduit straps, pipe hangers, sheet metal assemblies, and light structural connections. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and light-duty outdoor use in dry to mildly humid environments.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch inside diameter fits standard 1/2 inch fasteners
• 1-1/2 inch outside diameter provides wide load-distribution surface
• 0.08 inch thickness offers consistent bearing surface without excessive stack height
• Zinc-plated steel construction resists light corrosion in typical indoor environments
• Box of 50 units supports volume fastening tasks on the job

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch screws and bolts in standard inch-measurement fastening applications across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades.

Installation Notes

Install with standard hand or power tools appropriate to the fastener type. Ensure the washer seats flat against the mating surface before torquing the fastener. Do not use zinc-plated hardware in continuously wet, submerged, or chemically aggressive environments where stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware is required. Follow applicable building or mechanical codes for fastener specifications in structural connections.
