Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.

Overview

The Textron Aviation S1022Z8-6 is a genuine OEM fillister head machine screw, an essential piece of hardware for the instrument panels of a vast number of Cessna aircraft. This is not a generic fastener; it is a proprietary part engineered by Cessna with specific features for its intended application. Its primary function is to secure instrument panel overlays, placards, and other non-structural components to the main panel structure. The screw's black finish is a critical feature designed to minimize glare and reflections in the cockpit, enhancing pilot readability of adjacent instruments.

Key Features

• Anti-Glare Black Finish: Coated with a durable, non-reflective black finish. This is a crucial human-factors and safety feature that prevents distracting glare from sunlight or cockpit lighting, ensuring instruments remain clearly visible.
• Fillister Head Design: Features a fillister head, which has a smaller diameter than a standard pan head but is slightly taller. This design provides a secure clamping surface while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive appearance on a crowded instrument panel.
• Slotted Drive: Equipped with a standard slotted drive for simple installation and removal with a flat-blade screwdriver, a common tool in any A&P mechanic's toolbox.
• Steel Construction: Fabricated from a quality steel alloy, providing the necessary strength for securely fastening panel components and resisting stripping during installation.
• Genuine Textron OEM Part: As a genuine factory component, it guarantees the correct dimensions, thread pitch, head type, and, most importantly, the specified anti-glare finish required for a certified and professional-looking cockpit installation.

Applications

The S1022Z8-6 is the specified fastener for ensuring a secure and professional instrument panel assembly:

• Instrument Panel Overlays: The primary fastener used to attach the decorative and informational plastic overlays to the metal sub-panel.
• Placard Installation: Securing various operational placards and decals within the cockpit.
• Light-Duty Component Mounting: Used to fasten lightweight brackets and other non-structural items to the instrument panel.

Why Choose S1022Z8-6?

The cockpit is the pilot's office, and every detail matters. The S1022Z8-6 is the specific fastener designed by the manufacturer for this visible, functional area. Using a genuine Textron OEM screw ensures a perfect match in color and finish for a professional appearance. More importantly, its anti-glare properties are an engineered safety feature. Substituting with a standard, shiny hardware store screw can create distracting and fatiguing reflections on the windscreen or instrument glass, compromising the pilot's view.

The fillister head design of the S1022Z8-6 provides a distinct advantage for panel installation. Its deeper slot allows for higher torque application with a flat-blade driver compared to a round or pan head, reducing the risk of "cam-out" and damage to the screw head or surrounding panel. The smaller head diameter compared to a pan head allows the screws to be placed closer together or nearer to the edge of an instrument cutout without interference. This combination of features makes it an ideal choice for the dense, complex layout of an aircraft instrument panel.

Note: This is a non-structural fastener. It should be installed carefully to avoid over-tightening, which can crack or damage the plastic panel overlays it is designed to secure. Always use a screwdriver that properly fits the slot to prevent damage to the screw's black finish.
