316 Stainless Steel Flat Washer Per Unit

316 stainless steel flat washer is a TECTUL reference for distributing load in joints exposed to severe humidity, chlorides, frequent washdown or environments where 304 stainless may not be sufficient. Its function should be read from the washer type: flat washers distribute load and protect the surface, split lock washers help retain tightening, toothed washers bite into the bearing face, and sealing washers work by deformation or compression. In this product the main material is 316 stainless steel and the technical family is flat washer for inch threads. It differs because it is purchased per unit and uses 316 stainless steel, differing from 304 by corrosion resistance. To quote without errors, report size, quantity, bolt or nut type, working environment, required finish and whether the purchase will be by unit or by kilo. We do not recommend substituting with a similar part if the drawing requires ASTM F436/F436M, 316 stainless steel, a specific gauge, hot-dip galvanized finish or a special reference.

Installation recommendations

• Avoid direct contact with bare carbon steel in humid environments to reduce galvanic corrosion in the assembly.
• Select the size by the bolt's actual diameter, not only by appearance or by the washer outside diameter.
• Remove burrs, rust, loose paint or dirt from the bearing face before tightening.
• Do not stack washers to correct length or misalignment; use the correct bolt size or spacer.
• Inspect the assembly after initial installation if there is vibration or settling of paint, wood, rubber or thin sheet.
