Metallics JG8LW174 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size does the Metallics JG8LW174 split lock washer fit?
The JG8LW174 is a 3/8 inch split lock washer, so it pairs with 3/8-16 bolts and all-thread rod in that diameter. It is a Grade 8 washer in zinc-plated steel, sold as a jar of 100.
2) Should I use a split lock washer or a flat washer on a 3/8 inch strut or rod hanger?
They do different jobs. A split lock washer like the 3/8 Grade 8 JG8LW174 bites into the nut and the mating surface to resist loosening from vibration, which is what you want on equipment mounts, trapeze hangers and motor bases. A flat washer only spreads load and protects the surface. On soft material or oversized holes, many installers run both: flat against the material, split lock under the nut.
3) Is the Metallics 3/8 lock washer plated for corrosion resistance, and can I use it outdoors?
It is zinc-plated steel. Zinc plating handles dry indoor and protected locations fine. For sustained wet exposure, direct weather, or coastal and corrosive environments, step up to hot-dip galvanized or stainless lock washers instead.
4) Does the Metallics JG8LW174 meet ANSI dimensional standards?
Yes, the 3/8 Grade 8 split lock washer is an ANSI-dimensioned washer, so the inside diameter, outside diameter and section thickness match standard 3/8 inch hardware and it will seat under a standard 3/8 hex nut.
5) What does Grade 8 mean on a split lock washer, and do I need it?
Grade 8 is the higher-strength hardened class. Use the Grade 8 3/8 split lock washer under Grade 8 bolts and nuts: a softer washer under a high-strength bolt will flatten out and lose its spring, which is exactly how a connection backs off. For ordinary Grade 2 or Grade 5 work it is still fine, just stronger than required.
6) How many 3/8 lock washers come in a jar of the Metallics JG8LW174?
100 washers per jar, packed in a jar rather than a bag or box, so it stays closed on the truck and on the cart. The jar weighs 0.69 lbs and measures 3 x 2.15 x 3 inches.
7) Where is the Metallics JG8LW174 lock washer made?
Country of origin is China. Worth knowing up front if you are on a job with domestic-sourcing requirements for fasteners.
