Value Collection 87925160 Split Lock Washer 1/4 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 87925160 is a 1/4 inch split lock washer made from 18-8 stainless steel, designed to resist loosening caused by vibration and torque in bolted assemblies. The spring-lock design bites into the fastener and mating surface to maintain clamp load over time. With an inside diameter range of 0.252 to 0.260 inches and an outside diameter range of 0.250 to 0.487 inches, this washer seats correctly under a standard 1/4 inch fastener head. The 0.062 inch thickness provides consistent spring tension. This washer is installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical tradespeople wherever stainless hardware is required for corrosion resistance.

This split lock washer is suited for residential and light commercial installations where fastener security is critical — including equipment mounting, panel work, pipe hangers, and mechanical assemblies exposed to moisture or vibration. The 18-8 stainless steel composition makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor applications where mild corrosive exposure is a concern. It conforms to ASME, ANSI, BS, DIN, JIS, and NFE standards, making it acceptable across a broad range of specified and field-engineered assemblies. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Spring-lock design maintains clamp load under vibration
• Inside diameter 0.252 to 0.260 inches fits standard 1/4 inch fasteners
• 0.062 inch thickness delivers consistent spring tension
• Conforms to ASME, ANSI, BS, DIN, JIS, and NFE standards
• Inch measurement system; suitable for standard US hardware applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch screws and bolts in standard inch-measurement assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Install with the split gap oriented so the washer can compress fully as the fastener is tightened. Place the lock washer between the fastener head and the mating surface or flat washer. Avoid over-torquing, which can flatten the washer and eliminate spring tension. No special tools are required beyond standard hand or power drivers appropriate to the fastener type.
