Value Collection LWIS0250USA-10LBBX Split Lock Washer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LWIS0250USA-10LBBX is a Grade 2 spring steel split lock washer designed for use with 1/4 inch screws and bolts. It features a zinc plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in standard indoor and light-duty applications. The washer measures 0.254 inches minimum inside diameter, up to 0.262 inches maximum inside diameter, with a maximum outside diameter of 0.489 inches and a thickness of 0.062 inches. The split design creates a spring action that resists loosening caused by vibration and torque relaxation. Installers in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades reach for this washer when fastening assemblies require reliable anti-loosening performance without specialized hardware.

This split lock washer is suited for general fastening applications across residential and light commercial work. It is compatible with standard 1/4 inch threaded fasteners in inch-measurement assemblies. Typical use cases include equipment mounting, panel attachment, conduit fittings, and structural connections where vibration or thermal cycling may cause fastener loosening over time. The zinc plated finish makes it appropriate for dry or moderately humid indoor environments.
