Metallics JSWBR8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size does the Metallics JSWBR8 brass flat washer fit?
The JSWBR8 is sized for #8 screws and bolts. It is a plain flat washer, no lock teeth or split, so it spreads the bearing load under the head or nut of a #8 fastener rather than resisting back-off.
2) Why use a brass washer instead of a steel one on electrical work?
Brass is the material here, and that is the reason electricians reach for it: it will not rust in damp or outdoor enclosures, and it is the common choice where you are landing on brass or copper hardware and want to avoid mixing dissimilar metals. Metallics calls out metal-to-metal as the application for this washer, which is exactly bonding lugs, ground straps, bus hardware and panel screws.
3) Is a flat brass washer the right part to keep a connection from loosening?
No. The JSWBR8 is a plain flat washer, so its job is to distribute load and protect the surface, not to hold tension. If vibration or thermal cycling is backing your #8 screws out, you want a split lock washer, a star/external tooth washer, or a thread-locking nut instead, and you can still stack the flat washer under it to protect the finish.
4) Will a #8 brass flat washer work for grounding and bonding connections?
Brass is conductive and corrosion resistant, and Metallics lists metal-to-metal as the application, so these are routinely used under #8 bonding and lug screws in panels and boxes. One caution: a washer is not a substitute for a listed grounding fitting or lug. Use it as the bearing surface under the fastener, not as the connection itself.
5) How many washers come in a jar of Metallics JSWBR8?
One hundred #8 brass flat washers per jar. The jar packaging is what makes it a van-stock item, a lid you can open one-handed on a ladder instead of a torn poly bag. Total shipping weight is 0.14 lbs.
