Value Collection FWI5025M-100BX Flat Washer 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FWI5025M-100BX is a standard flat washer designed for use with 1/4 inch fasteners. Made from steel with a plain finish, this washer distributes load across a bearing surface to protect the mating material and reduce the risk of fastener pull-through or surface damage. It meets ASTM F436 fastener standards and is dimensioned in the inch measurement system. The 0.276 inch inside diameter, 0.625 inch outside diameter, and 0.08 inch thickness make it a true standard flat washer profile suited for general-purpose mechanical and structural assembly work.

This washer is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture installation, electrical panel assembly, and general structural fastening. It fits 1/4 inch screw and bolt sizes and is appropriate for both residential and light commercial work wherever a plain steel flat washer is required. The plain finish makes it suitable for interior applications or situations where a coating is applied after assembly.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style flat washer for use with 1/4 inch screws and bolts in general mechanical, structural, and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Install by placing the washer over the fastener shank before driving into the mating material, ensuring the washer seats flat against the surface. Use appropriate hand tools or a torque wrench to achieve proper clamp load without over-tightening, which can deform the washer. For structural applications, consult applicable building codes or specifications to confirm washer grade and size requirements. Always select the correct washer size for the fastener diameter to maintain proper load distribution.
