KEY TAKEAWAY
A clear part identity and a stated compatibility requirement prevent avoidable ordering delays.
Identify the equipment before the part
Photograph the equipment's make, model and serial label. Then photograph the component, its label and its connections. Give the supplier the complete code, including suffixes and electrical ratings where present.
State whether the enquiry concerns an exact replacement or a proposed alternative. Similar appearance does not establish electrical, hydraulic or material compatibility.
Add the details that affect compatibility
For cartridges and membranes, provide dimensions, end fittings and the application. For UV parts, include the system model, lamp code, connector and ballast information. For valves and instruments, identify connection sizes, pressure range and power or signal requirements.
When measuring, include units and a photograph showing the measurement where useful. Do not dismantle energised or pressurised equipment to obtain a photograph; arrange safe inspection with the responsible technician.
Prepare the order and delivery information
List each part on a separate line with its quantity and the equipment it belongs to. Add the receiving company, destination country and city, and any required packing or documentation details.
- Full equipment and component model codes
- Clear label and connection photographs
- Dimensions, materials and electrical ratings as applicable
- Quantity and exact-replacement or alternative requirement
- Destination and requested shipment documentation
Confirm the supplied item before dispatch
Ask the quotation to identify the proposed item clearly and flag any differences from the requested code. Confirm compatibility and the installation requirements before accepting an alternative. Delivery timing and import arrangements should be agreed for the actual order.
