Metallics JLW173G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size do Metallics JLW173G split lock washers fit?
The JLW173G is a 5/16 inch split lock washer, so it seats under a nut or bolt head on 5/16 inch diameter threaded fasteners. Bolt diameter is what matters here, not thread pitch, so it works with both coarse and fine 5/16 threads.
2) Should I use a split lock washer or a flat washer on a 5/16 electrical connection?
They do different jobs. The JLW173G is a lock washer, its split ends bite into the nut and the mating surface to resist loosening from vibration, which is why it goes on strut, transformer mounts, motor bases and panel hardware. A flat washer spreads load and protects the surface but does nothing against vibration. On soft or slotted material many electricians use both, flat against the work and the split lock under the nut.
3) Are these split lock washers galvanized for outdoor or damp locations?
Yes. The JLW173G is a galvanized steel split lock washer, so the zinc coating gives it corrosion resistance for damp interior runs, unheated spaces and typical outdoor electrical work. For continuous salt spray or submerged conditions, stainless is the better call.
4) How many washers come in a jar of Metallics JLW173G?
Each jar holds 100 of the 5/16 galvanized split lock washers. The jar packaging is what makes it practical on a van or a gang box, you can pour out a handful without the bag splitting. Jar weight is 0.49 lbs.
5) Will a galvanized split lock washer work with stainless or plain steel hardware?
The JLW173G is galvanized steel, so it pairs naturally with galvanized or zinc plated 5/16 bolts, nuts and strut hardware. Mixing it with stainless in a wet location sets up dissimilar metal contact and the zinc will sacrifice over time, so keep stainless assemblies on stainless washers where moisture is present.
