Value Collection SSWASHER1686 Flat Washer 1/4 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SSWASHER1686 is a standard flat washer sized for 1/4 inch screws, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel. It features a 9/32 inch inside diameter, 5/8 inch outside diameter, and a thickness of 0.065 inches. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance, making this washer well suited for environments exposed to moisture, salt air, or chemicals. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and pool service professionals regularly specify 316 stainless hardware where standard carbon steel would corrode prematurely. This washer distributes load across the fastener bearing surface, reducing the risk of pull-through in softer substrates.

This flat washer is appropriate for use in residential and commercial installations where corrosion-resistant fasteners are required. Typical applications include outdoor mechanical equipment mounting, pool and spa equipment enclosures, marine environments, and chemical-exposed service areas. It conforms to standard inch-measurement sizing, making it straightforward to specify alongside other 1/4 inch fastener hardware in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate to the fastener type. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment and shut off water or refrigerant supply before servicing mechanical assemblies where this washer will be used. Verify that the mating fastener and nut or threaded component are also rated for the same corrosive environment to avoid galvanic incompatibility. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC guidelines as relevant to the installation type.
