Value Collection LWHIS0-8USA-100BX No. 8 Split Lock Washer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LWHIS0-8USA-100BX is a No. 8 split lock washer manufactured from Grade 2 spring steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Split lock washers are used to resist loosening of threaded fasteners caused by vibration and torque relaxation. This washer features a 0.167 inch minimum inside diameter, a maximum inside diameter of 0.174 inches, a maximum outside diameter of 0.307 inches, and a thickness of 0.047 inches. The inch-system sizing makes it a direct fit for No. 8 screw applications in general-purpose mechanical assembly. Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades routinely stock this size for panel, equipment, and bracket fastening tasks.

This split lock washer is suited for residential and light commercial applications where No. 8 fasteners are used in assemblies subject to vibration or repeated cycling. Typical use scenarios include securing electrical junction box hardware, HVAC equipment panels, access doors, brackets, and similar light-duty mechanical connections. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for indoor or protected environments where corrosion exposure is minimal. This SKU is packaged as a box of 100 washers, making it practical for shops and service vehicles that maintain fastener inventory by size.

Installation Notes

Install the split lock washer between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface, with the split gap oriented consistently per standard fastening practice. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live electrical or HVAC systems. Use hand tools appropriate to the fastener drive type and avoid overtorquing, which can flatten the lock washer and reduce its effectiveness. This part does not meet military specifications and should not be specified for MIL-SPEC applications.
