Metallics JLWX5SB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size screw does the Metallics JLWX5SB external tooth lock washer fit?
The JLWX5SB is a #10 external tooth lock washer, so it pairs with #10 screws and bolts. External tooth washers bite under the fastener head and against the mating surface to resist loosening from vibration.
2) Are these lock washers bronze or plated steel?
Silicon bronze, not plated steel. That matters if you are fastening into bronze or copper hardware, or working in a damp or coastal environment where a plated steel washer would be the first thing to corrode. Silicon bronze also keeps the joint non-magnetic.
3) Can I use a silicon bronze lock washer with stainless or galvanized screws?
Match the metals where you can. Silicon bronze washers like the JLWX5SB are meant to go with bronze or brass fasteners and hardware; putting them against plain or galvanized steel in a wet location sets up a dissimilar-metal couple that eats the less noble metal. With stainless the pairing is far less aggressive and is commonly done, but for outdoor marine or shoreline work stay with bronze hardware throughout.
4) How many washers come in a jar of Metallics JLWX5SB?
100 pieces per jar, packed in a screw-top jar rather than a bag, which is the format most electricians and maintenance techs want on a van or bench because the lid closes and the count stays contained. The jar measures 3 x 3 x 2.15 inches and weighs 0.09 lbs.
5) External tooth or internal tooth lock washer, which one should I use?
External tooth, like the JLWX5SB, puts the teeth out at the rim where they get the most leverage against loosening, and it works best under a hex head or nut with a flat bearing face. Internal tooth washers hide the teeth inside the outer diameter, so they are the choice when the washer has to sit under a pan or round head that would otherwise overhang the teeth, or where you do not want tooth marks showing on the finished surface.
6) Is the Metallics #10 lock washer made to a standard size?
It is an ANSI dimensioned #10 washer, so the inside and outside diameters follow the standard and it will interchange with other ANSI #10 external tooth lock washers already on the job.
7) Where is the Metallics JLWX5SB washer manufactured?
Made in China. If you are filling a government or institutional order with domestic sourcing requirements, that country of origin is the detail to check against your spec before you commit.
8) Are these washers meant for electrical work specifically?
They are catalogued and stocked as electrical fasteners, which is where #10 external tooth lock washers get used most: bonding and grounding connections, panel and device screws, strut and box hardware. The silicon bronze material is also conductive and corrosion resistant, which is why it shows up on bonding hardware rather than plain steel.
