Metallics LW174G5M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are Metallics 3/8 split lock washers galvanized for outdoor or damp locations?
They are galvanized steel, which is the usual choice for exterior strut runs, damp mechanical rooms, and unconditioned spaces where plain steel would rust. For continuous saltwater or heavy chemical exposure, stainless is the better call.
2) How many washers come in a box of Metallics LW174G5M?
It ships as a box of 5,000 pieces, a bulk pack built for electrical shops running a lot of 3/8 inch strut, hanger rod, and panel mounting hardware rather than a job with a handful of connections.
3) Should I use a split lock washer or a flat washer on my 3/8 inch strut and hanger connections?
Different jobs. A split lock washer like the 3/8 galvanized LW174G5M bites into the nut and the mating surface to resist loosening from vibration, which is why it goes on equipment mounts, strut fittings, and hanger rod nuts. A flat washer spreads load and protects the surface but does nothing against back-off. On soft or slotted material many installers use both: flat washer against the work, split lock under the nut.
4) Is the Metallics 3/8 split lock washer made to a dimensional standard?
Yes, it is built to ANSI dimensions, so the inside diameter, width, and thickness match what any other ANSI-spec 3/8 split lock washer measures. That matters if you are mixing stock across a facility and need nuts and washers to seat the same way on every connection.
5) Can I use galvanized 3/8 split lock washers with galvanized strut and threaded rod?
Yes, and that is the normal pairing. Keeping the washer, nut, and rod all galvanized avoids the dissimilar metal contact you get when you mix plain or stainless hardware into a galvanized assembly.
