The AN960-816L Washer is a lightweight aerospace flat washer manufactured to Army-Navy (AN) specifications for use in aircraft fastening systems. The “L” designation indicates a light-duty, reduced-thickness version of the standard AN960 washer, commonly used where weight savings and close tolerance fastening are required.

This washer is typically used under nuts or bolt heads to distribute load, protect mating surfaces, and ensure proper fastening alignment in aircraft structural, engine, and interior assemblies. It is supplied in a 100-piece pack for maintenance, repair, and production use.

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 100-piece maintenance set
Compatible with aviation assembly and overhaul procedures

Washers like the AN960-816L are widely used in aircraft systems because they provide reliable load distribution while supporting weight reduction and precise fitment in high-performance aviation assemblies.
