Value Collection FWSIS0500-10LBBX Sae Flat Washer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FWSIS0500-10LBBX is a 1/2 inch screw size SAE flat washer made from steel with a zinc-plated finish. SAE flat washers provide a broad bearing surface under bolt heads and nuts, distributing clamping load and reducing surface damage on the mating material. This washer measures 17/32 inches inner diameter, 1-1/16 inches outer diameter, and 3/32 inches thick. The zinc plating offers a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose indoor and light-duty outdoor fastening applications. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors reach for SAE flat washers during equipment mounting, panel assembly, and structural fastening tasks.

This washer is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 1/2 inch fastener requires a wider load-bearing surface. Typical use cases include mounting HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, plumbing support brackets, and general structural assemblies. The SAE standard sizing makes this washer a common choice when a larger outer diameter relative to the screw size is needed, as compared to USS-pattern washers.

Key Features

• SAE pattern provides a larger outer diameter for improved load distribution under 1/2 inch fastener heads
• Steel construction delivers reliable mechanical strength for general-purpose fastening
• Zinc-plated finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance for moderate service environments
• 17/32 inch inner diameter fits standard 1/2 inch screws and bolts with appropriate clearance
• 3/32 inch thickness provides consistent clamping height and surface contact

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose SAE flat washer for use with 1/2 inch screws and bolts in standard inch-measurement fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools; no special equipment is required. Always power down or de-energize equipment before working on any assembly where electrical contact is possible. Ensure the washer is seated flat against the mating surface before torquing the fastener. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IFGC where fastener hardware is used in regulated system installations.
