Description
The MS21919BH18 is a genuine Textron Aviation clamp — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99.
Fastening and retaining hardware may look simple, but grade, size, and finish are specified for the joint each secures — the correct part matters. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
Applicability should always be confirmed against the aircraft's IPC and effectivity records prior to fitting the part. The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring.
Cross-check the part number against your maintenance and parts documentation to confirm fit and current effectivity for your airframe. 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.
Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application.
As the maker behind the Cessna Citation, Beechcraft King Air, Bonanza, and more, Textron Aviation supports this part through its global factory-parts network from Wichita, Kansas.
