Value Collection 30726 Split Lock Washer 7/8 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 30726 is a split lock washer designed for use with 7/8 inch screws and fasteners. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this washer resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and marine environments, making it well suited for plumbing, HVAC, and industrial installations where standard hardware would corrode prematurely. The split design creates spring tension under the fastener head, preventing loosening caused by vibration or thermal cycling. Inside diameter ranges from 0.878 to 0.894 inches, outside diameter ranges from 0.094 to 1.459 inches, and thickness is 0.219 inches. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians install this type of hardware during equipment mounting and pipe bracket work.

This split lock washer is used in residential and commercial trade applications wherever a 7/8 inch fastener requires a vibration-resistant, corrosion-proof connection. Typical scenarios include securing HVAC equipment mounting brackets, plumbing pipe supports, electrical enclosure hardware, and pool or pump equipment exposed to moisture or chemicals. The 316 stainless steel alloy offers superior resistance to chlorides compared to 304 grade, making it a preferred choice in poolside, coastal, and process-wet environments. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7/8 inch screws and bolts in standard inch-measurement fastener assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and pool equipment installations.

Installation Notes

Install by placing the split lock washer between the fastener head and the mating surface before tightening. Power down or depressurize the system before working on any equipment being fastened. Use hand tools or a calibrated torque wrench appropriate for the fastener grade — do not over-torque, as this can flatten the split and eliminate the locking action. Follow applicable mechanical codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque requirements on the specific equipment being serviced.
