Value Collection 93774 Split Lock Washer 8 Screw 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93774 is a No. 8 screw-size split lock washer manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Split lock washers are used under fastener heads or nuts to resist loosening caused by vibration and torque relaxation. The helical split design bites into the mating surface and the fastener bearing face when the assembly is tightened, creating a mechanical lock. At 0.04 inches thick with an inside diameter range of 0.167 to 0.174 inches and an outside diameter range of 0.156 to 0.293 inches, this washer is sized for standard No. 8 fastener applications. Installation is performed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical trades wherever corrosion resistance is required.

This washer is suited for residential and light commercial applications where stainless steel is specified to resist moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor exposure. Typical installation scenarios include electrical enclosure assembly, panel mounting, equipment fastening, and plumbing fixture hardware. The 18-8 stainless steel grade offers a practical balance of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for most indoor and moderate outdoor environments. Individual washers are sold in single-piece quantity with a minimum order quantity of 200 pieces.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• Helical split design resists vibration-induced loosening without adhesives or thread-locking compounds
• Sized for No. 8 screws with inside diameter range of 0.167 to 0.174 inches
• Outside diameter range of 0.156 to 0.293 inches for standard No. 8 fastener bearing surfaces
• 0.04 inches thick for consistent spring action under load
• Inch measurement system; does not meet military specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation split lock washer for No. 8 screw fastener assemblies requiring 18-8 stainless steel hardware.

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, washer, and mating material are compatible to avoid galvanic corrosion. Do not reuse a washer that has been fully compressed flat, as the locking action will be reduced. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical code requirements for fastener torque and material specifications in the installation environment.
