Value Collection 93782 Split Lock Washer 5/8 in 18-8 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93782 is an 18-8 stainless steel split lock washer sized for 5/8 inch screws. Split lock washers create resistance against fastener loosening by biting into the bearing surface as the fastener is tightened. The helical split design stores spring tension under load, helping maintain clamp force in assemblies subject to vibration or thermal cycling. This washer is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople wherever corrosion resistance and reliable locking action are required in a 5/8 inch fastener assembly.

This split lock washer is suited for indoor and outdoor applications where moisture or mild chemical exposure demands stainless steel hardware. Typical install scenarios include pipe hanger assemblies, equipment mounting, electrical panel work, and HVAC unit attachment. The 18-8 stainless steel grade provides good corrosion resistance in most service environments encountered in residential and light commercial trade work.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Helical split design maintains clamp load against vibration-induced loosening
• Sized for 5/8 inch screw with inside diameter range of 0.628 to 0.641 inches
• Maximum outside diameter of 1.073 inches for standard bearing surface coverage
• Thickness of 0.156 inches provides consistent spring tension under torque

Compatibility

Designed as a standard split lock washer for use with 5/8 inch fasteners in inch-measurement mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate for the fastener type. Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before seating the washer. Always de-energize electrical systems and relieve system pressure on plumbing or HVAC assemblies before performing fastener work in those environments. Do not reuse split lock washers that have been fully compressed flat, as locking effectiveness is reduced.
