The 62833-044 is a Piper OEM precision stainless steel washer designed for use in aircraft structural and mechanical assemblies. It features a defined geometry of 1.37 inch inner diameter, 1.73 inch outer diameter, and 0.016 inch thickness, making it a tightly specified hardware component used where exact fit and load distribution are required.

In Piper aircraft applications, washers of this type are used in high-precision bolted joints across airframe structures, control system linkages, and landing gear assemblies. Its primary function is to distribute fastener load evenly, prevent surface damage, and maintain correct clamping force under vibration and cyclic loading conditions.

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel (SS), this washer is designed to perform reliably in aviation environments exposed to moisture, temperature changes, and long-term mechanical stress. The thin profile (0.016") allows for precise stack-up control in assemblies where dimensional accuracy is critical.

Because aircraft hardware relies on exact tolerances, this washer must be used exactly as specified in the Piper Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC). Substituting thickness or material can affect torque values and joint integrity.
