Hillman Grade 18-8 Stainless Steel Split Lock Washers 5/16-Inch, Coastal

Product Description Hillman Split Lock Washers keep threaded fasteners from working loose under vibration and repeated movement. Sized for a 5/16 inch bolt, the washer sits under a nut or bolt head and uses spring tension to keep constant pressure on the joint, so the fastener stays tight in equipment, machinery, and assemblies that shake or move in service. The split ring is the working feature: as the fastener is tightened, the ring compresses flat, and its two sharp cut ends dig into both the nut and the mating surface. Those biting ends resist the rotation that normally backs a nut off over time, giving a simple, reliable lock without any added parts or adhesives. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, the washer resists rust, corrosion, and staining while keeping its spring action intact. That lets it lock fasteners reliably in marine, coastal, and washdown settings where a plated or standard lock washer would corrode and lose its grip over time. Use these lock washers for marine, coastal, outdoor, and washdown settings such as boats, docks, railings, and exposed equipment where corrosion and vibration are both concerns. The stainless build also means the washer will not streak or stain the surrounding surface over time. This pack provides a ready supply for marine, dock, and outdoor fastening projects around the home and waterfront. From the Manufacturer This split lock washer provides a circular bearing surface with offset split ends which help bite into the mating material to provide a locking feature when tightened beneath a nut. It is round with a hole in the center and can be used where loosening from corrosion or vibration is a concern. Lock washers are commonly used in any application using a bolt where two pieces are being drawn together.
