Value Collection MS35338-161 Split Lock Washer 7/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35338-161 is a split lock washer designed for use with 7/16 inch screws and fasteners. Manufactured from 400 series stainless steel with a passivated finish, this washer provides reliable tension and vibration resistance in bolted assemblies. It meets military specification MS35338, making it appropriate for applications where documented fastener standards are required. The inside diameter ranges from 0.44 to 0.45 inches, with a maximum outside diameter of 0.776 inches and a nominal thickness of 0.109 inches. Installation is handled by millwrights, maintenance technicians, HVAC mechanics, and other trades working with threaded fastener assemblies in corrosion-prone or high-vibration environments.

This split lock washer is suited for use in industrial, mechanical, and trade service applications where stainless steel corrosion resistance is necessary. The passivated surface treatment enhances oxidation resistance, making it a practical choice for wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture assembly, electrical panel work, and general mechanical construction where a 7/16 inch fastener and a locking washer are required together.

Installation Notes

This washer is installed by placing it between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface before torquing the fastener. Stainless steel fastener hardware should be handled carefully to avoid galling during assembly. Always de-energize or shut down equipment before servicing bolted connections on live mechanical or electrical systems. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when assembling fastener joints.
