Manufactured from Grade 12L14 case hardened steel with a black oxide finish, this washer delivers corrosion resistance and surface hardness suited for industrial and mechanical assembly work. It measures 9\/32 inch (0.2813 inches) inside diameter, 1 inch outside diameter, and 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches) thick. The black oxide coating reduces light reflection and provides a degree of mild corrosion protection in dry or low-moisture environments. Trades professionals, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers use this washer where a C-style open slot configuration is required for quick installation or removal without full bolt disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Z9421 C washer is suited for general industrial fastening, machinery maintenance, and structural assembly tasks where a 1\/4 inch bolt size is specified. The open-slot C profile allows the washer to be slid on or off a fastener shaft without removing the nut or bolt head entirely, saving time during field repairs or equipment servicing. It is appropriate for use in both light commercial and industrial settings where Grade 12L14 steel hardness and black oxide finish meet the application requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC-slot profile allows installation and removal without full bolt disassembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 12L14 case hardened steel construction for surface hardness and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInside diameter of 9\/32 inches fits standard 1\/4 inch bolt sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 inch outside diameter distributes load across a wider bearing surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch thickness provides stable seating under fastener load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/4 inch and Number 10 bolt sizes.

Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing fastened assemblies. The open-slot design allows lateral insertion onto a fastener shaft, but ensure the slot is oriented away from primary load direction to maintain proper bearing contact. Do not use C washers as a substitute for full-round washers in high-vibration or safety-critical structural connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch, Number 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/32 inches (0.2813 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch (1.0000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Case Hardened Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12L14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilitary Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: Does Not Meet Military Specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Z9421\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700262601010,"sku":"Z9421","price":75.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4a77f9bcea8e5fa3e8962bcfdc040ac9.jpg?v=1788388258","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-z9421-c-washer-1-4-inch-bolt-black-oxide-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
