Metallics JLW169 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What screw size does the Metallics JLW169 split lock washer fit?
The JLW169 is a #6 size split lock washer, so it goes under a #6 machine screw or bolt head. If you are fastening 8-32 or 10-32 hardware in a panel or enclosure, you need the next sizes up, not this one.
2) Are these #6 lock washers plated for use in damp or outdoor electrical boxes?
The JLW169 washers are steel with a zinc chromate finish. That plating handles normal indoor panel, device box and HVAC duty and gives some corrosion resistance in damp locations, but it is not stainless, so for continuous wet or corrosive exposure specify a stainless split lock washer instead.
3) What is a split lock washer actually for, and do I need one if I already use a flat washer?
A split lock washer does a different job than a flat washer. The split ring spring-loads the joint so vibration does not back the screw out, and the sharp ends bite into the nut face and the part. A flat washer only spreads load. On equipment that vibrates, a motor, a blower, a transformer, a panel door, use the split lock. Many installers stack both: flat washer against the surface, split lock under the nut or screw head.
4) Where are Metallics JLW169 split lock washers made?
Country of origin on the JLW169 is listed as multiple, meaning Metallics sources the washers from more than one country. If your job carries a domestic-sourcing or Buy American requirement, this is not the item to spec.
5) Are Metallics JLW169 washers only for electrical work?
No. They are stocked as an electrical supply item, but the stated field application covers the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. Same #6 hardware shows up in control panels, thermostat and zone valve mounting, device plates and small sheet metal assemblies.
6) How much does a jar of 100 of these #6 lock washers weigh for shipping or a stocking cart?
A jar runs 0.1 lbs, with a jar footprint of 3 x 3 x 2.15 inches. Light enough that you can stock several sizes side by side in a van drawer without the weight mattering.
