Value Collection MBVW038OP Beveled Square Washer 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MBVW038OP is a beveled square washer designed for use with 3/8-inch bolts. Constructed from low carbon steel, this washer provides a stable bearing surface for bolted connections. The beveled profile accommodates angled or uneven surfaces where a standard flat washer would not seat correctly. With a 7/16-inch inside diameter and a minimum thickness of 11/32 inch, it is suited for structural and mechanical fastening applications where load distribution and alignment are required. Installation is handled by millwrights, ironworkers, structural mechanics, and general tradespeople working with bolted assemblies.

This washer is commonly used in structural steel connections, timber frame construction, machinery mounting, and heavy equipment assembly. The square profile distributes bolt load over a wider area than round washers, reducing the risk of pull-through or surface crushing. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor applications where low carbon steel is an acceptable material choice for the service environment.

Key Features

• Beveled profile seats correctly on angled or sloped mating surfaces
• Square body distributes clamping load over a larger footprint than round washers
• Low carbon steel construction provides adequate strength for general structural fastening
• 7/16-inch inside diameter fits standard 3/8-inch bolt shanks
• 11/32-inch minimum thickness delivers consistent bearing surface under load

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch bolts as an OEM-style or replacement beveled square washer in structural, mechanical, and general-purpose bolted assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate for the bolt size and torque specification required by the assembly design or applicable code. Ensure mating surfaces are free of debris before seating the washer. Follow applicable structural or mechanical fastening standards such as AISC or ASME guidelines where required. Do not substitute this washer in applications requiring specific material certifications without verifying suitability.
