Value Collection SSWASHER1769 Flat Washer 3/8 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SSWASHER1769 is a standard flat washer designed for use with 3/8 inch screws and fasteners. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this washer provides strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemically aggressive environments. It features a 13/32 inch inside diameter, a 13/16 inch outside diameter, and a 0.065 inch thickness. Plumbers, pipefitters, marine technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of washer to distribute load, prevent surface damage, and provide a reliable bearing surface under bolt heads and nuts.

This flat washer suits residential and commercial applications where corrosion resistance is a primary concern. Common use cases include plumbing fixtures, HVAC equipment mounting, marine hardware, pool and spa equipment, and outdoor structural connections. Grade 316 stainless steel is preferred over Grade 304 in chloride-rich environments such as coastal installations and pool mechanical rooms due to its higher molybdenum content and improved pitting resistance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades. Always de-energize or shut off the relevant system before disassembling any fastened connection. Use appropriate torque tools to avoid deforming the washer or galling stainless threads — apply anti-seize compound to stainless fastener threads as a standard precaution. Verify fastener compatibility with the mating bolt or screw specification before assembly.
