Value Collection 2-L-2 Split Lock Washer 316 Ss 2 Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2-L-2 is a Number 2 screw size split lock washer manufactured from 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Split lock washers are used under fastener heads or nuts to resist loosening caused by vibration and torque relaxation. This washer measures 0.088 to 0.094 inches inside diameter, 0.172 inches outside diameter, and 0.020 inches thick. The 316 stainless steel alloy provides strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, and marine environments. Hardness is rated Rockwell C35 to C43, meeting ASME B18.21.1 and SAE J405 standards. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics commonly use these washers in small-fastener assemblies requiring corrosion-resistant hardware.

This washer is suited for light-duty fastening applications using Number 2 screws in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Typical use cases include panel enclosures, instrumentation mounting, plumbing fixture assemblies, and electrical junction box hardware where a small-diameter corrosion-resistant lock washer is required. The 316 material grade is preferred in coastal, humid, or chemically exposed environments where standard 18-8 stainless may be insufficient.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 or 18-8 grades
• Uncoated finish — no coating to flake, peel, or contaminate the assembly
• Hardness rated Rockwell C35 to C43 for reliable spring tension under load
• Meets ASME B18.21.1 and SAE J405 fastener standards
• Number 2 screw size with 0.088 to 0.094 inch ID range for consistent fit

Compatibility

Designed for use with Number 2 machine screws and corresponding fastener assemblies requiring a split lock washer per ASME B18.21.1 inch-series dimensions.

Installation Notes

Install split lock washers between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface before torquing. Ensure the open split ends seat properly against both surfaces to provide the intended locking tension. No special tools are required for installation, but care should be taken not to over-torque small Number 2 fasteners, as excess force can flatten the washer and eliminate the locking effect. Always de-energize or isolate any electrical or mechanical system before servicing hardware in live assemblies.
