Metallics JLWX5SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) External tooth versus internal tooth lock washer - which should I use on an electrical device screw?
External tooth, like the JLWX5SS, puts the teeth outside the screw head, so they bite over a wider circle and grip better under a large head, a flat washer, or a strap. Internal tooth hides the teeth under the head, which looks cleaner and suits small heads or countersunk work. For bonding and grounding connections where you want the teeth cutting through paint or plating around the screw, external tooth is the usual pick.
2) Are these Metallics lock washers stainless steel, and will they hold up outdoors?
Stainless steel, so they are suited to damp, outdoor, and washdown locations where a plated steel washer would rust and seize the screw. Stainless also avoids the galvanic mismatch you get putting a plated washer against stainless screws and stainless strut hardware.
3) What trades and applications are these #10 stainless tooth lock washers intended for?
Metallics lists them for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning industries. In practice that means device and cover screws, ground screws, strut and hanger hardware, control panel assembly, and equipment mounting where vibration would otherwise back a #10 screw out.
4) Do I still need a flat washer if I use a tooth lock washer?
Not for the locking action itself. The teeth on the JLWX5SS have to bear directly on the mounting surface to bite in, so a flat washer goes under the lock washer, never between the teeth and the material. On soft or finished surfaces where you do not want the teeth marking the face, use a flat washer under the whole stack and accept the reduced bite.
