Value Collection LWIBR0-8USA-100BX No. 8 Split Lock Washer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LWIBR0-8USA-100BX is a No. 8 split lock washer made from silicon bronze, sold in a box of 100 pieces. Split lock washers are used under fastener heads or nuts to resist loosening caused by vibration and torque relaxation. This washer features an inside diameter of 0.167 inches and an outside diameter ranging from 0.293 to 0.307 inches, with a thickness of 0.04 inches. Silicon bronze construction provides good corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemical environments where standard steel hardware would degrade. These washers are installed by electricians, plumbers, marine technicians, and general mechanical trades working with No. 8 screw fasteners.

This split lock washer is suited for light-duty fastening applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. Typical uses include electrical panel assembly, plumbing fixture mounting, marine hardware, and general equipment assembly where No. 8 screws are specified. The silicon bronze alloy is a common choice in coastal or high-humidity environments and in applications where galvanic compatibility with copper alloys is a consideration. The box quantity of 100 pieces supports production assembly or service shop stocking.

Installation Notes

Install split lock washers between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface before torquing the fastener. Ensure the washer is seated flat with the split ends contacting the mating surface to develop proper locking force. Power down or de-energize any assembly before servicing fastened components in electrical or mechanical systems. Do not reuse split lock washers that have been fully compressed flat, as they will not provide effective locking tension.
