ANTI LOSS RETAINING WASHER

Anti loss washers are used to retain screws upon an outer panel and deter male fasteners from falling away from the panel when unscrewed from their female counterpart. They have internal lugs that grab upon mating male thread and are often used as a temporary mount of fasteners before full application.

Anti-loss washers tend to be thin as this will lessen the gap space created when using them in a flat panel to flat panel situation.
