Metallics JG8LW179 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JG8LW179 a grade 8 washer suitable for high strength bolting?
It is a Grade 8 split lock washer in 9/16 inch, which is the hardness class you want under Grade 8 nuts and bolts. Pairing a lower grade washer with high strength hardware lets the washer flatten out and crush before the joint reaches full torque.
2) Are these Metallics 9/16 inch lock washers zinc plated steel or stainless?
Steel with a zinc plating, not stainless. That is fine for indoor electrical work, strut and panel mounting, and dry mechanical rooms. For exterior, wash-down, or coastal installs where the fastener sees standing moisture, specify a stainless washer instead.
3) How many washers come in a jar of Metallics JG8LW179?
100 washers per jar, packaged in a jar rather than a box or bag. The jar runs 1.85 lbs total, which is the practical way to buy them for a truck stock or a shop bin where you are pulling a handful at a time.
4) What does a split lock washer actually do, and do I still need a flat washer with it?
A split lock washer is a helical ring that springs open under load, biting into the nut face and the joint to resist loosening from vibration. It is not a bearing surface. On soft material, sheet metal, or an oversized hole you still want a flat washer under the split lock to spread the load. The JG8LW179 covers the locking function only.
5) How much shelf or bin space does a 100-count jar of these washers take?
The jar measures 3 x 3 x 3.6 inches and weighs 1.85 lbs, so it drops into a standard parts bin or a van drawer without repacking. Useful if you are standardizing fastener sizes across a stockroom and want each size in its own labeled jar.
