Value Collection 1-L-5 Split Lock Washer 5 Screw 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1-L-5 is a 5 screw split lock washer manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Split lock washers are designed to resist fastener loosening caused by vibration and dynamic loads by biting into both the mating surface and the fastener bearing face when torque is applied. This washer measures 0.127 to 0.133 inches inside diameter, 0.236 inches maximum outside diameter, and 0.031 inches thick. It is suited for use by mechanical contractors, plumbers, electricians, and general trade technicians working with 5 screw fastener assemblies in corrosion-resistant applications.

This washer is appropriate for indoor and outdoor installations where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. Common applications include HVAC equipment assemblies, plumbing fixture mounting, electrical enclosure hardware, and pool equipment installations. The 18-8 stainless steel grade offers reliable performance in moist or mildly corrosive environments. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it well suited for shop stock, maintenance kits, or production assembly use.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5 screw fasteners in inch-measurement fastener assemblies requiring a split lock washer.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools; seat the washer flat against the bearing surface before driving the fastener. Power down or de-energize any electrical or HVAC equipment before accessing fastener assemblies in live systems. Follow applicable code requirements including NEC or IPC guidelines where fastener hardware is part of a regulated assembly. Do not reuse split lock washers that have been fully compressed flat, as they will no longer provide effective locking action.
