Value Collection MP36701-HD Sae Flat Washer 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP36701-HD is a 1/4 inch screw size SAE flat washer manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. SAE flat washers provide a wider bearing surface than standard washers, distributing fastener load across the mating material and reducing the risk of pull-through or surface damage. The zinc yellow dichromate coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical applications. This washer is a standard hardware component used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance trades during equipment installation and repair work.

This washer is suited for residential and commercial applications wherever a 1/4 inch fastener requires a load-spreading bearing surface. Common install scenarios include equipment mounting, panel attachment, pipe hanger assembly, and general mechanical fastening across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. The SAE dimensional standard means the outer diameter is larger than USS or narrow-pattern alternatives, making it appropriate where greater load distribution is needed on softer substrates or oversized clearance holes.

Key Features

• SAE flat washer profile provides broad load distribution for 1/4 inch fasteners
• Grade 8 steel construction for high-strength fastening applications
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish for corrosion resistance in general service environments
• Inch measurement system, compatible with standard SAE fastener assemblies
• Sold individually; minimum order quantity of 50 pieces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service hardware for any application requiring a 1/4 inch screw size SAE flat washer in steel with zinc yellow dichromate finish.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate to the fastener assembly. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the washer. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off fluid systems before performing any fastener work on live systems. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC guidelines as required by the specific trade application.
