Metallics JG8LW176 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size does the Metallics JG8LW176 split lock washer fit?
It is a 5/8 inch split lock washer, so it sits under a nut or bolt head on 5/8 inch diameter threaded fasteners (5/8-11 or 5/8-18, since a lock washer is sized by bolt diameter and not by thread pitch).
2) How many washers come in a jar of Metallics JG8LW176?
Each jar holds 25 of the 5/8 inch split lock washers. The jar pack is the sell unit, which is how it ships for cart or van stock rather than loose bulk.
3) Is the JG8LW176 lock washer plated for corrosion resistance?
It is steel with a zinc plating. Zinc-plated steel is suited to dry interior electrical and mechanical work. For wet, exterior, or corrosive locations, specify a stainless or hot-dip galvanized lock washer instead.
4) What is the difference between a split lock washer and a flat washer on strut and channel work?
A split lock washer like the 5/8 inch JG8LW176 is a helical ring that springs against the nut and the joint face to resist loosening from vibration. A flat washer only spreads load across the surface and does nothing to keep the nut from backing off. On vibrating equipment mounts, transformer frames, or overhead strut hangers, crews commonly use both: flat washer against the material, lock washer under the nut.
5) What does Grade 8 mean on this 5/8 inch lock washer?
The JG8LW176 is a Grade 8 washer, meaning it is a higher strength class intended to pair with Grade 8 bolts and nuts rather than low-carbon hardware. Matching washer grade to bolt grade keeps the washer from flattening out and losing its spring tension under high clamp loads.
6) Are these Metallics lock washers made to an ANSI dimensional standard?
Yes, the JG8LW176 is an ANSI-dimensioned 5/8 inch split lock washer, so inside diameter, outside diameter and section thickness follow the standard inch series. That is what lets it drop in alongside existing 5/8 inch hardware on a job without a dimensional surprise. Country of origin is China.
7) How much does a jar of 25 Metallics 5/8 inch split lock washers weigh and how big is the jar?
The jar weighs 1.68 lbs and measures 3 x 2.15 x 3 inches. Small enough for a gang box or van drawer, and the weight matters if you are bundling several jars of large-diameter hardware onto a single order.
