Metallics JLW172G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these split lock washers OK for outdoor or damp electrical work?
They are galvanized steel, so the zinc coating gives them more corrosion resistance than plain steel for damp locations, exterior strut runs, and unconditioned spaces. For continuously wet, coastal, or chemically aggressive environments, stainless is the better call.
2) What does a split lock washer actually do compared to a flat washer?
A split lock washer is a single coil with a gap; when the nut is torqued down, the split ends bite into the nut face and the mounting surface and the spring tension resists loosening from vibration. A flat washer only spreads load and does nothing against vibration. On equipment that shakes, like fan and compressor mounts or panel hardware, use the split lock, and add a flat washer under it if the mounting surface is soft or slotted.
3) Will a galvanized steel lock washer corrode against stainless or aluminum hardware?
The JLW172G is zinc-coated steel, which is a different metal from stainless or aluminum, so in wet or outdoor contact you can get galvanic attack on the zinc. For mixed-metal assemblies exposed to moisture, match the washer to the bolt material instead. In dry interior work, galvanized steel with plated steel bolts is the normal pairing.
4) How many split lock washers come in a jar of the Metallics JLW172G?
Each jar holds 100 pieces of the 1/4 inch galvanized split lock washer. The jar format is what service vans and shop benches use, so you are buying a countable restock quantity rather than a bulk box.
5) Can I use these galvanized 1/4 inch lock washers on plumbing and HVAC jobs, or are they electrical only?
They are specified for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. That covers hanger rod, strut fittings, equipment mounting, and panel hardware across all three trades, so one jar can serve an MRO cart that touches more than one system.
6) How much does a jar of Metallics JLW172G lock washers weigh for shipping or van stocking?
The packed jar runs 0.71 lbs and measures 3 x 3 x 2.15 inches, so it drops into a small parts bin or a van drawer without eating shelf space.
