602237 - Miller Flat Washer .172 ID x .500 OD Steel Black Plated

Genuine Miller Replacement Hardware

The Miller 602237 Flat Washer is a critical small component designed to maintain the structural integrity and operational reliability of your Miller welding equipment. While often overlooked, washers play a vital role in mechanical assemblies by distributing the load of a threaded fastener, such as a screw or nut. This prevents damage to the surface being fixed and reduces the risk of the fastener loosening over time due to vibration—a common occurrence in heavy-duty industrial welding environments.

Manufactured from durable steel, this washer is built to withstand the rigors of daily use. It features a black plated finish, which not only provides a professional appearance that matches internal machine components but also offers a layer of protection against oxidation and corrosion. This is particularly important in workshop environments where humidity and temperature fluctuations can affect untreated metal parts.

Precision Dimensions for Perfect Fit

Using the correct size hardware is essential for proper machine maintenance. The Miller 602237 is engineered with precise tolerances: an inner diameter (ID) of 0.172 inches, an outer diameter (OD) of 0.500 inches, and a thickness of 0.048 inches. These specific measurements ensure that the washer fits perfectly onto the corresponding bolt or stud without excessive play, providing a secure and stable hold.

Why Choose OEM Parts?

When repairing or maintaining your valuable welding power sources and wire feeders, choosing genuine Miller Electric OEM parts is the best way to ensure longevity. Generic hardware may not meet the specific material grade or dimensional accuracy required by the manufacturer's engineering standards. By selecting the authentic 602237 washer, you are ensuring that your equipment remains within factory specifications, preserving its performance and safety.
