Grade 8 SAE Flat Washers

What Are Grade 8 Flat Washers?

Grade 8 flat washers are premium-quality steel fastener accessories engineered to complement high-strength Grade 8 bolts in demanding applications. These washers are manufactured from hardened steel materials that provide exceptional durability and load distribution capabilities. Unlike standard flat washers, Grade 8 washers feature enhanced tensile strength and superior resistance to deformation under extreme loads. They are commonly zinc plated to prevent corrosion and maintain structural integrity in harsh environments. The distinctive steel yellow zinc coating provides both protection and easy identification. Professional contractors and engineers frequently specify Grade 8 flat washers for critical applications where standard washers might fail. These premium washers ensure proper bearing surface contact and prevent bolt head pull-through in high-stress installations.

Standard Dimensions and Sizing Guide

Grade 8 flat washers follow SAE specifications for precise dimensional consistency across all orders. Standard sizing ranges from #10 through 1-1/2 inch bolt diameters, with each size engineered for optimal performance with corresponding Grade 8 bolts. Inner diameters are carefully machined to provide proper clearance while outer diameters maximize bearing surface area. Thickness specifications typically range from 0.065 to 0.134 inches depending on washer size. The steel yellow zinc plated finish adds minimal thickness while providing corrosion protection. Professional suppliers maintain comprehensive inventory of all standard sizes to fulfill orders promptly. Quality Grade 8 flat washers from Nutty meet strict tolerance requirements ensuring consistent performance across different manufacturers. Proper sizing selection ensures maximum load transfer and prevents premature fastener failure in critical applications.
