Value Collection R63092648 Flat Washer Brass No. 8 Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63092648 is a standard flat washer sized for a Number 8 screw, manufactured from brass with a plain finish. Flat washers distribute load across a fastened joint, protecting the mating surface and reducing the risk of fastener pull-through or loosening under vibration. This washer measures 0.172 inches inner diameter, 0.375 inches outer diameter, and 0.032 inches thick. It is an inch-system fastener component suited for general mechanical assembly, light electrical work, plumbing fixtures, and HVAC panel hardware where brass corrosion resistance is required. Installers in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trades routinely stock this size for field repairs and panel assembly work.

This washer is used wherever a Number 8 screw or machine bolt requires a load-spreading or surface-protecting element. Common applications include terminal block mounting, control panel assembly, light fixture hardware, and plumbing trim fastening. Brass construction makes it appropriate for applications where steel washers could corrode or create galvanic compatibility issues with copper, bronze, or brass fasteners. It is sold individually and fits standard Number 8 inch-series fasteners.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate to the fastener type. Ensure the fastener and mating hardware are compatible with brass to avoid accelerated galvanic corrosion. De-energize any electrical panel or control circuit before performing fastener work inside energized enclosures. Follow applicable NEC or trade-specific code requirements for hardware used in electrical or mechanical assemblies.
