316 Stainless Steel Fractional Sizes Fender Washer
316 Stainless Steel Fractional Size Fender Washers for Maximum Load Distribution
When your application demands wide surface coverage and extreme corrosion resistance, 316 stainless steel fractional size fender washers deliver unmatched performance. Designed with an oversized outside diameter relative to the inner hole, these washers provide superior load distribution compared to standard flat washers. This expanded bearing surface helps prevent pull-through, material distortion, and surface damage—especially when working with thin sheet metal, fiberglass, plastic, or wood.
Marine-Grade 316 Stainless Steel Construction
Superior Corrosion and Chemical Resistance
Manufactured from premium 316 stainless steel, these fender washers contain added molybdenum, significantly improving resistance to chlorides, saltwater, and harsh industrial chemicals. Compared to 304 stainless steel, 316 offers enhanced protection against pitting and crevice corrosion, making it the preferred choice for marine hardware, coastal construction, wastewater treatment facilities, and chemical processing plants.
Built for Harsh Environments
316 stainless steel fender washers maintain structural integrity in high-moisture, high-salinity, and chemically aggressive environments. They resist rust and oxidation while delivering long-term durability in demanding outdoor and industrial conditions.
Fractional Sizes for SAE Fastener Compatibility
Available in standard fractional inch sizes, these washers are fully compatible with SAE bolts, screws, and threaded rods. Their wide outer diameter reinforces oversized holes and provides added stability in fabrication, structural repair, plumbing, electrical installations, and heavy-duty construction projects.
By evenly distributing clamp force, 316 stainless steel fender washers reduce stress concentrations and enhance joint reliability in vibration-prone or load-bearing assemblies.
For projects where corrosion resistance, wide load coverage, and long-lasting strength are critical, 316 stainless steel fractional size fender washers provide dependable, high-performance fastening in the toughest environments.
