Wedge Lock® Washer

Installation

  • To install the TEC Series washer, place the preassembled pair between the nut and/or bolt and the joint material.
  • As the nut or bolt is tightened, one half of the washer pair will be seated to the joint material and the other half will be seated to the nut or bolt.
  • Tighten joints with TEC Series washers using standard tools. Retightening is not needed.
  • The use of lubricants is highly recommended when installing TEC Series washers. A high-quality lubricant designed to prevent seizing will reduce friction during installation and improve the consistency of clamp load in joints.
  • When installing TEC Series washers in a common application, expect an increase in required torque over recommended installation torque to achieve proper clamp load and maximum joint safety. See Torque Guidelines for more information.
