SAE Flat Washers

We offer the largest selection of SAE Washers in the industry. SAE Washers are also known as Type A Flat Washers, and are named for the Society of Automotive Engineers. SAE Flat Washers are developed to be a smaller, thinner alternative to the standard USS Flat Washers. SAE washers were designed to be used primarily in automotive applications, but can be used across many other industries as well.
