The Hillman 1/4″ Zinc SAE Flat Washer comes in a pack of 16 washers. These washers are designed to evenly distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a bolt or screw, over a larger surface area. They are made from zinc-plated steel, which provides corrosion resistance and durability. Flat washers serve several functions, including preventing damage to the surface being fastened, reducing friction, and ensuring a more secure connection. The 1/4″ size of these washers indicates the inner diameter, which matches the size of a 1/4″ bolt or screw. This makes them suitable for a range of mechanical and DIY applications where reliable and precise fastening is essential.
