Value Collection A98017 Wedge Lock Washer M10 316L

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A98017 is a wedge lock washer engineered for M10 metric fastener applications. Constructed from 316L stainless steel and left uncoated, this washer delivers reliable vibration resistance and secure fastener retention in demanding environments. The wedge lock design uses opposing cam faces to create a mechanical locking action that resists loosening under dynamic loads, vibration, and thermal cycling. The outside diameter measures 0.6575 inches with a minimum OD of 0.6496 inches, and the inside diameter ranges from 0.4134 to 0.4291 inches. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and field service professionals across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial trades rely on this type of washer where fastener integrity is critical.

This wedge lock washer is suited for M10 bolted connections in both residential and light commercial applications. The 316L stainless steel material grade provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 stainless, making it appropriate for wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor installations such as mechanical equipment pads, pipe hangers, fan assemblies, and electrical panel mounting hardware. The washer is sold in packages of 10, with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Key Features

• Wedge lock cam-face design resists loosening under vibration and dynamic loading
• 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Uncoated finish — no coating delamination risk in chemical or high-moisture service
• Metric M10 thread size for compatibility with standard metric fastener systems
• Outside diameter of 0.6575 inches suits standard M10 bolt bearing surfaces
• Sold in convenient 10-piece packages

Compatibility

Designed for use with M10 metric fasteners in standard bolted joint assemblies requiring vibration-resistant locking washers per typical industrial and mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

Wedge lock washers are installed in opposing pairs — one washer on each mating surface with cam faces together — to generate the locking action upon tightening. A licensed mechanic or qualified technician should de-energize and isolate any equipment before servicing fastened connections. Verify fastener torque requirements per the equipment manufacturer's specifications and applicable standards such as ISO 14001. Do not mix washer grades or finishes in a single joint assembly, as galvanic incompatibility can accelerate corrosion.
