Description

Chatsworth 20283-013 Type A Plain 3/8IN Zinc Washer

Overview

The Chatsworth 20283-013 is a Type A plain washer with a 3/8 inch inner diameter, finished in zinc plating. These washers are critical for distributing the load of a fastener, such as a bolt or screw, across a larger surface area. This prevents damage to the mounting surface and ensures a more secure installation, particularly for sensitive electronic equipment like network cameras, NVRs, or access control panels where vibration or overtightening could compromise housing or connections. The zinc plating offers moderate corrosion resistance for typical indoor or protected outdoor environments.

Compatibility

This 3/8 inch washer is designed to be compatible with standard 3/8 inch threaded hardware. It is suitable for use with mounting brackets, enclosures, and rack-mount equipment that utilize 3/8 inch fasteners. Specifically, it can be used with various mounting solutions for IP cameras, network switches, and other IT infrastructure components where secure fastening is required.

Installation Notes

Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris before installation. The washer should be placed between the fastener head (or nut) and the mounting surface. Torque specifications for the fastener should be followed to prevent over-tightening, which can damage the equipment or the mounting surface, even with the load distribution provided by the washer.
