Metallics JSLW4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are the Metallics JSLW4 split lock washers stainless steel or plated steel?
Stainless steel. The JSLW4 split lock washer is made of stainless, so it holds up in damp, outdoor, or washdown locations where a zinc plated washer would rust and lose its spring. That matters on rooftop equipment, exterior panels, and mechanical rooms.
2) What does a split lock washer actually do compared with a flat washer?
A split lock washer like the Metallics JSLW4 is a coiled, split ring that compresses under the nut and pushes back, keeping tension on the joint so vibration does not back the fastener out. A flat washer only spreads load and protects the surface; it does nothing against loosening. On gear that vibrates, motors, blowers, panel doors, conduit supports, use the split lock, and add a flat washer under it if the mounting surface is soft or slotted.
3) Are these Metallics split lock washers suitable for plumbing and HVAC work, or just electrical?
They are made for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, so the same jar covers conduit strut work, hanger rod assemblies, and equipment mounting. The stainless material is what makes them usable on wet-side plumbing and outdoor HVAC hardware.
4) How do the Metallics JSLW4 washers come packaged for shop stock?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the format most electricians and maintenance shops keep on the van or the bench rather than a loose bag. Total weight is 0.08 lbs, so it is a small jar you can keep in a bin drawer.
5) Will a stainless split lock washer cause a problem with stainless bolts?
Match the metals and you avoid the bigger problem. Pairing the stainless JSLW4 with stainless bolts and nuts keeps the joint from galvanic corrosion, which is what you get when you mix a plated steel washer with stainless hardware in a wet location. Stainless on stainless can gall on tightening, so run the nut down at a steady, moderate speed rather than driving it fast with an impact.
