Value Collection 68025683 M6 Split Lock Washer 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 68025683 is an M6 metric split lock washer manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2. It is designed to resist loosening caused by vibration and dynamic loads in bolted assemblies. The washer features a helical spring profile that bites into mating surfaces under torque, maintaining clamp load across the joint. Inside diameter ranges from 6.1 to 6.5mm, outside diameter is 11.8mm, and thickness is 1.6mm. This fastener hardware is installed by mechanical contractors, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance trades wherever a corrosion-resistant metric locking washer is required.

This split lock washer is suited for residential and commercial mechanical assemblies, outdoor installations, and wet or corrosive environments where standard carbon steel washers are not appropriate. It conforms to DIN 127B and meets ASME, ANSI, BS, JIS, and NFE standards, making it compatible with metric fastener assemblies across North American and international applications. Typical install scenarios include equipment mounting, pipe support brackets, electrical enclosure hardware, and HVAC equipment frames using M6 threaded fasteners.

Key Features

• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Spring lock profile maintains clamp load and resists loosening from vibration
• Conforms to DIN 127B fastener standard
• Meets ASME, ANSI, BS, JIS, and NFE standards for broad metric application compatibility
• Inside diameter range of 6.1 to 6.5mm accommodates standard M6 fastener tolerances
• Metric system of measurement for use with metric bolt and screw assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with M6 metric screws and bolts in assemblies requiring a split lock washer per DIN 127B. Suitable for metric fastener applications governed by ASME, ANSI, BS, DIN, JIS, and NFE standards.

Installation Notes

Install with the split gap facing up against the fastener head or nut before tightening. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing fastened assemblies on electrical or HVAC components. Use appropriate metric hand tools; follow torque guidelines specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable codes such as NEC or IFGC where relevant. Do not reuse a split lock washer that has been fully compressed flat, as spring tension will be lost.
