RH

abbreviationStandard termProduction

A designation for parts designed specifically for the right side of an assembly.

RH stands for right hand, indicating the orientation or positioning of a component on a product. It is critical in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing where parts are mirrored rather than symmetrical. Using the wrong handedness during assembly will cause fitment failures and require immediate rework.
