Metallics JSLW5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are the Metallics JSLW5 split lock washers stainless steel or plated steel?
Stainless steel. Metallics lists the JSLW5 material as stainless steel, so these split lock washers hold up in damp and outdoor locations where a zinc plated washer would start to bloom rust. That matters on exterior strut runs, rooftop equipment, and wet or washdown areas.
2) What size screw do Metallics JSLW5 split lock washers go on?
They are #8 split lock washers, so they pair with #8 machine screws and bolts, which is the size most device and plate screws, small strut fittings, and panel hardware use. The part number for the #8 stainless split lock in a jar is JSLW5.
3) Should I use a split lock washer or a flat washer under a #8 screw?
They do different jobs. A split lock washer like the JSLW5 bites into the nut face and the joint to resist loosening from vibration, which is what you want on equipment, motor covers, and anything that shakes. A flat washer only spreads load over a soft or oversized hole and does nothing against vibration. On sheet metal with an oversized hole, many installers run a flat washer to spread the load and the split lock on top of it under the nut.
4) Can I use a stainless split lock washer with a stainless screw to avoid corrosion problems?
That is the reason to buy the JSLW5 rather than a plated washer. Matching stainless hardware to a stainless screw and strut avoids the dissimilar metal pairing that eats a zinc plated washer first and leaves you with a rusted washer under a clean bolt. Metallics builds this one in stainless steel.
5) Are these washers only for electrical work, or can I use them on plumbing and HVAC jobs?
Metallics lists the field application as the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning industries, so the same jar serves a mechanical or plumbing crew as well as an electrician. It is a general purpose stainless fastening washer, not an electrical-only item.
