Value Collection 33568 Split Lock Washer 7/8 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 33568 is a Grade 5 steel split lock washer sized for 7/8 inch fasteners. Split lock washers apply tension under a nut or bolt head to resist loosening caused by vibration and torque. This washer is uncoated bright finish, suited for general mechanical and structural assemblies where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. The inside diameter ranges from 0.878 to 0.894 inches with a maximum outside diameter of 1.489 inches and a thickness of 0.266 inches. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades use split lock washers in equipment mounting, panel fastening, and pipe support installations.

This washer is appropriate for indoor and light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a standard 7/8 inch screw size. It fits residential and commercial applications where Grade 5 steel meets the load and hardness requirements of the fastened joint. Typical uses include equipment bases, structural brackets, and mechanical enclosures. This SKU ships as a single piece with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it suitable for bulk fastener restocking.

Installation Notes

Install with the split ends bearing against the fastener and mating surface to ensure proper spring tension. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened assemblies in electrical or mechanical panels. Use appropriate hand tools and follow applicable mechanical codes for the assembly type. Do not reuse split lock washers that have been fully compressed flat, as they will no longer provide effective locking action.
