Value Collection 88548037 Split Lock Washer 1/4 in 125 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548037 is an alloy steel split lock washer sized for 1/4 inch screws and fasteners. Split lock washers create tension between a fastener and the mating surface, resisting loosening from vibration and torque. The washer features a bright, uncoated finish and is manufactured to inch-system dimensions with an inside diameter range of 0.255 to 0.263 inches and a maximum outside diameter of 0.365 inches. Wall thickness measures 0.078 inches. This pack contains 125 washers, making it a practical bench stock option for mechanical assembly, electrical panel work, HVAC equipment installation, and general trade applications requiring reliable fastener retention.

Split lock washers in this size are widely used in residential and light commercial trade work wherever 1/4 inch fasteners are used in assemblies subject to vibration or thermal cycling. Common applications include securing electrical enclosures, mounting HVAC components and brackets, plumbing fixture hardware, and general mechanical assembly. The alloy steel construction provides solid hardness and spring-back performance suited to metal-on-metal fastening. Each washer in this pack ships uncoated, making them appropriate for indoor use or applications where a field-applied coating or plating will be added.

Installation Notes

Split lock washers are installed between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface before final torque is applied. Ensure the fastener and mating material are compatible with uncoated alloy steel to avoid galvanic corrosion in wet or outdoor environments. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer fastener specifications when used in electrical panels or gas equipment enclosures. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off gas or fluid supply before opening any enclosure for fastener service.
