    USS Washers

    These washers meet USS sizing specifications and typically have larger diameters than SAE washers. As a result, they accommodate larger screws and nuts and distribute pressure across a wider surface area. They are also thicker, so they withstand heavier loads and span wider gaps when used as spacers.

    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these washers resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    Undersized Washers

    These washers distribute pressure evenly under fasteners with narrow heads, such as cheese and socket head screws. They have smaller diameters than general purpose washers of the same screw size.
