Value Collection -36744-8 High Collar Split Lock Washer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -36744-8 is a high collar split lock washer sized for No. 8 screws and manufactured from uncoated steel. Split lock washers create spring tension under a fastener head or nut to resist loosening caused by vibration and torque relaxation. The high collar design provides additional bearing surface compared to standard split washers, improving load distribution. The inside diameter ranges from 0.168 to 0.175 inches with a maximum outside diameter of 0.267 inches and a thickness of 0.047 inches. This washer is sold in a package of 250 pieces, making it practical for production assembly and service work requiring consistent fastener hardware.

This washer is suited for general mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture mounting, and light structural fastening where No. 8 screw hardware is specified. The uncoated steel construction is appropriate for interior or protected applications. Tradespeople, assemblers, and maintenance technicians commonly stock this size for routine equipment service and installation tasks where vibration-resistant fastening is required.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 8 screw high collar split lock washer for use in general mechanical, electrical, and HVAC panel fastening applications requiring inch-system hardware.

Installation Notes

Install between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface with the split ends oriented to bite into both surfaces as the fastener is tightened. Do not reuse split lock washers after removal, as the spring tension is reduced once the coil has been fully compressed. Use appropriate hand tools or power drivers set to controlled torque to avoid fully collapsing the washer before the joint is seated. This fastener hardware does not require specialized trade licensing but should be installed per the equipment manufacturer's fastening specifications.
