The AN960-716L Washer is a lightweight aerospace flat washer manufactured to Army-Navy (AN) specifications for use in aircraft fastening systems. The “L” designation indicates a reduced-thickness, light-duty version of the standard AN960 washer, designed for applications where weight reduction and tight assembly tolerances are important.

This washer is used to distribute load under nuts or bolt heads, protect mating surfaces, and help maintain proper alignment in aircraft structural, mechanical, and interior assemblies. It is supplied in a 10-piece pack, typically for small maintenance tasks, repairs, or kit-based installations.

Its primary features include:
Manufactured to AN960 aerospace standard specifications
Lightweight “L” series reduced-thickness design
Helps distribute load and reduce surface wear
Suitable for aircraft structural and mechanical assemblies
Commonly used in general aviation maintenance
Steel construction for strength and durability
Packaged in a 10-piece maintenance set
Compatible with aviation assembly and repair procedures

Washers like the AN960-716L are widely used in aircraft systems because they provide reliable fastening support while helping reduce weight and maintain precise fitment in aviation assemblies where space and tolerances are critical.
