Metallics LW175-2M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size does the Metallics LW175-2M split lock washer fit?
The LW175-2M is a 1/2 inch split lock washer, so it goes under a nut or bolt head on 1/2-13 or 1/2-20 hardware. Split lock washers are sized by the bolt diameter they ride on, not by an outside dimension, so if your threaded rod, anchor bolt, or strut hardware is 1/2 inch, this is the matching washer.
2) How many 1/2 inch split lock washers come in a box of Metallics LW175-2M?
One box holds 2,000 pieces, shipped as a bulk box rather than small carded packs. That is a stock-room or job-cart quantity, not a service-truck quantity, so for a single panel or a few strut runs you are buying far more than you need. The full box weighs 25.8 lbs.
3) Are these 1/2 inch lock washers plated for corrosion resistance?
They are steel with a zinc plating. Zinc plating handles dry indoor and protected electrical work, panel and enclosure mounting, strut and conduit support. For sustained wet, exterior, or washdown exposure, or anywhere with chemical attack, specify stainless or hot dip galvanized hardware instead, since zinc plate is a thin sacrificial coating.
4) What is the difference between a split lock washer and a flat washer for 1/2 inch bolted connections?
A split lock washer like the LW175-2M is a single coil with a gap. It springs against the nut and bites into the mating surface to resist loosening from vibration. A flat washer does not resist loosening at all, it only spreads the load over a wider area and protects the surface. On vibrating equipment, motor mounts, or strut-supported runs, many installers use both: flat washer against the material, lock washer under the nut.
5) Can I reuse split lock washers after taking a bolted joint apart?
No. The LW175-2M is a spring steel split washer that takes a set once it has been torqued and has dug into the bearing surface. Pulled off and reinstalled, it has lost most of its spring and its bite. With 2,000 in a box there is no reason to reuse one, put in a fresh washer on reassembly.
6) What is the Metallics part number for a 1/2 inch split lock washer in a 2000 box?
Order Metallics LW175-2M. That is the single orderable part number for the 1/2 inch zinc plated steel split lock washer in the 2,000 piece box.
