Metallics JMLW8SS316 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size do the Metallics JMLW8SS316 split lock washers fit?
They're M8 split lock washers, so they go on M8 metric bolts and screws (roughly 8mm nominal shank). Metric only, not a #8 or 5/16 inch imperial fastener, so if your hardware is UNC/UNF thread you want an imperial lock washer instead.
2) Are these lock washers stainless steel, and can I use them outdoors?
Stainless steel construction, which is why they get specified for damp, outdoor, and washdown locations where a plain or zinc washer would rust and lose tension. Pair them with stainless fasteners of the same family to avoid mixing dissimilar metals in the joint.
3) How many M8 split lock washers come in a jar?
100 pieces per jar. The jar packaging is the useful part for a service van or a shop bin, since you can pull washers one at a time without a bag splitting, and the whole jar weighs 0.4 lbs.
4) What's the difference between a split lock washer and a flat washer for an M8 bolt?
Different jobs. A split lock washer is a single coil with a gap, and it bites into the nut face and the joint to resist loosening from vibration. A flat washer only spreads load and protects the surface, it does nothing for vibration. On an M8 connection in a vibrating enclosure, panel, or motor mount you want the split lock; if you also need load spread on soft material, stack a flat washer under it.
5) How much shelf or bin space does the jar of M8 stainless lock washers take?
The jar measures 3 x 3 x 2.15 inches, so it fits a standard parts-bin cubby or drawer without decanting.
6) Can I reuse a split lock washer after taking a joint apart?
Best practice is no. Once the coil has been compressed and the ends have bitten into the mating surfaces, it has lost spring tension and holding ability. Buying the M8 stainless split locks by the 100-count jar is what makes replacing them on every teardown practical.
7) Is the Metallics M8 split lock washer the right part number for an electrical panel or fixture build?
Yes, model JMLW8SS316 is catalogued as an electrical-supply fastener, and stainless M8 split locks are the common pick for grounding hardware, strut and channel assemblies, enclosure covers, and exterior fixture mounting where the connection sees vibration or weather.
