Value Collection KP938 1/4 in High Collar Split Lock Washer 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP938 is a high collar split lock washer designed for use with 1/4 inch screws. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this washer provides reliable resistance to loosening under vibration and dynamic loads. The high collar profile delivers increased bearing surface contact compared to standard split lock washers, making it well suited for applications where joint integrity is critical. Inside diameter runs from 0.255 to 0.263 inches, maximum outside diameter measures 0.365 inches, and thickness is 0.078 inches. Each package contains 100 washers.

This washer is used across a broad range of mechanical assembly applications in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general industrial environments. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial installations wherever a 1/4 inch fastener requires additional locking force at the joint. The uncoated 18-8 steel construction offers good corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure conditions without the dimensional variation that coatings can introduce.

Key Features

• High collar design increases bearing surface area compared to standard split lock washers
• 18-8 stainless steel material provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• Uncoated finish maintains consistent dimensional tolerances
• Inside diameter range of 0.255 to 0.263 inches fits standard 1/4 inch fasteners
• Package of 100 washers supports production and service call quantities

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch screws and bolts in standard inch-measurement fastener assemblies. Suitable as a replacement or stock washer in any application requiring a high collar split lock configuration at this screw size.

Installation Notes

Install between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface with the split ends oriented to bite into both surfaces as the fastener is tightened. Ensure the mating fastener and base material are compatible with 18-8 stainless steel to avoid galvanic corrosion. Do not reuse split lock washers that have been fully compressed flat, as they will no longer provide effective locking action. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the fastener assembly.
