Aviation Fasteners & Parts Catalog | Browse by Manufacturer

Aviation fasteners join aircraft structures, panels, system supports, and installed equipment while resisting vibration, repeated loads, temperature changes, and corrosion. Browse these types alphabetically before opening related part records.

Common Aviation Fasteners and Related Hardware

The directory includes fasteners and installation products:

• Threaded fasteners: Bolts, screws, studs, nuts, and inserts used where a joint requires controlled tightening or later removal.
• Permanent fasteners: Solid, blind, and specialty rivets.
• Pins and retaining parts: Cotter pins, quick-release pins, clips, rings, and locking devices.
• Panel fasteners: Turnlock, captive, anchor, and expandable fasteners used on panels, covers, interiors, and access points.
• Installation items: Fastener tools, nose pieces, bits, and tool assemblies used to fit or remove hardware.

Related aircraft components are organized separately within the aviation part types directory.

Where Aircraft Fasteners Are Used

• Airframes: Connect skins, frames, stringers, and load-carrying structures.
• Access areas: Secure covers, panels, fairings, and enclosures.
• Cabins: Attach seats, interior panels, and safety equipment.
• System routing: Hold wiring clamps, hydraulic lines, pneumatic lines, ducts, and avionics racks.
• Engine areas: Support installations requiring strength, temperature resistance, finishes, and locking methods.

What to Check Before Selection

Confirm the identifier, diameter, length, grip range, thread form, pitch, material, coating, strength, and installation method. Manufacturer and standard part numbers may identify specific dimensional, material, configuration, or performance requirements.

Some hardware follows AS, MS, or NAS specifications. The NAS standard parts catalog organizes National Aerospace Standard records. Similar appearance does not establish interchangeability.

Find and Request Aviation Fasteners

Choose a fastener type to review parts, manufacturers, descriptions, and NSNs. Compare the requirement with the aircraft drawing, IPC, SRM, or maintenance data.

Submit an RFQ with the part number, quantity, condition, documentation, and deadline. If the exact part number is unavailable, include the description, dimensions, material, finish, application, and markings.
