Value Collection FWIA0-8-100BX Size 8 Flat Washer Aluminum

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FWIA0-8-100BX is a size 8 screw standard flat washer made from aluminum with a plain finish. Flat washers distribute load across a fastened surface, reducing stress on the mating material and protecting against loosening under vibration. This washer has an inside diameter of 0.168 inches, an outside diameter of 0.375 inches, and a thickness of 0.032 inches. The aluminum construction keeps weight low and offers natural corrosion resistance in dry and mildly humid environments. This package contains 100 washers, making it a practical choice for contractors and technicians who install fasteners in volume.

Standard flat washers at this size suit a wide range of light-duty assembly applications across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical work. A size 8 screw is common in panel mounting, equipment enclosures, and sheet metal assemblies. These washers are appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where aluminum fastener hardware is specified or preferred. They are installed alongside size 8 machine screws or bolts wherever load distribution or surface protection is required.

Installation Notes

Flat washers are installed by any trade technician as part of a standard bolted or screwed joint. Always power down or de-energize equipment before accessing internal fastener points in electrical or HVAC enclosures. Seat the washer flat against the mating surface before applying torque to avoid cocking the fastener. Aluminum washers should not be used in direct contact with dissimilar metals in wet environments where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
