Metallics JLW175G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size do the Metallics JLW175G split lock washers fit?
The JLW175G is a 1/2 inch split lock washer, so it goes over 1/2-13 or 1/2-20 bolts, threaded rod, and hanger rod of the same nominal diameter. One jar holds 100 pieces.
2) Are these Metallics 1/2 inch lock washers OK for outdoor or damp-location work?
They're galvanized steel, which is the usual choice for damp, exterior, and unheated locations where a plain finish washer would rust out. For continuous immersion or heavy chemical exposure you'd want stainless instead.
3) What is a split lock washer actually for, and do I need one under every nut?
A split lock washer is a single coil of spring steel that flattens as you torque the nut, keeping tension on the joint so vibration doesn't back the fastener off. On electrical gear, strut, hanger rod, and mechanical equipment that runs with vibration, it is standard practice under the nut. On a flat-faced enclosure or sheet metal you usually pair it with a flat washer underneath to spread the load, since a split washer bites into soft material.
4) Can I use these galvanized lock washers on plumbing and HVAC hangers, or are they electrical only?
They're rated by Metallics for electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning work, so the same jar covers pipe hanger rod, duct trapeze, and conduit support. The deciding factor is bolt diameter: 1/2 inch only.
5) Is the Metallics JLW175G sold loose or in a bulk pack?
It comes as a jar of 100 pieces, which is the format most electrical and mechanical crews keep on the truck or on the shelf for hanger rod and strut work. Jar dimensions are 3 x 2.7 x 3 inches and the packed weight is 1.48 lbs.
6) Do these galvanized lock washers mix with stainless hardware?
Mixing is not recommended. These are galvanized steel, and putting zinc-coated steel in direct contact with stainless in a wet location sets up galvanic corrosion that eats the coating first. Keep the washer material matched to the bolt and nut on exterior or wet installs.
