Metallics JSWN08D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size screw do Metallics JSWN08D nylon flat washers fit?
The JSWN08D is a #8 nylon flat washer with a 3/8 inch outside diameter, so it seats under a #8 screw or bolt head. On a #8 pan or round head it spreads the bearing load without the washer edge standing out much past the head.
2) Why use a nylon washer instead of a steel one on an electrical job?
Nylon is non-conductive and won't corrode, so a nylon flat washer like the JSWN08D is the choice when you need to isolate a fastener from a metal surface, avoid galvanic action between dissimilar metals, or protect a painted or plastic enclosure face from being chewed up as the screw is torqued. Steel washers carry current and can mar finishes. Trade-off: nylon will deform under high torque, so it is not a load-bearing substitute for a hardened steel washer.
3) How do Metallics JSWN08D washers come packaged for a service truck?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces. The jar pack is what keeps #8 washers from scattering through a van drawer or a parts bin, and 100 is a sensible shelf quantity for an MRO cage or a service stock rather than a job-lot box.
4) Will a #8 x 3/8 nylon washer cover an oversized or slotted hole in a device plate?
Only barely. With a 3/8 inch outside diameter, the JSWN08D gives you roughly 1/8 inch of bearing surface around a #8 shank, so it covers a slightly oversized #8 hole but not a slot or a knockout. For bridging a larger opening you need a fender-style washer with a much bigger OD.
5) Can nylon flat washers be used outdoors or in wet locations?
Nylon doesn't rust, which is the main reason it gets specified where a plain steel washer would bleed corrosion down a finished surface. What it is not is a gasket, so a JSWN08D nylon flat washer does not seal a penetration. If the hole has to be watertight, use a sealing washer or a listed fitting with a gasket.
