Description
The 17330 is a genuine Textron Aviation gasket used to keep a joint or pass-through tight. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Material and dimensions make a seal work; the correct factory part is what keeps the joint from leaking in service. The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require.
Part numbers can supersede over time, so verify the current applicable number for your airframe's serial and configuration before installation. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
Because a single part number can be superseded or vary by effectivity, confirm applicability against your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) and serial-number effectivity before ordering. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
Textron Aviation supports aircraft owners, operators, and MROs worldwide with genuine Cessna and Beechcraft parts from Wichita, Kansas.
