Spares

Plan the right spares before maintenance begins. Explore common service components, understand what determines compatibility and ask DFT to help identify the correct replacement for your installed equipment.

End plate gasket joining

View the supplied End plate II gasket assembly drawing and ask DFT to confirm its applicability to your heat exchanger. This reference shows a particular joining arrangement, not a universal method for all end-plate gaskets.

Selection & service guidance

Confirm the correct reference

Share the heat exchanger model, serial number and plate arrangement drawing so DFT can help identify the applicable end-plate gasket reference.

Before any modification

Do not cut, remove clips or select tape or adhesive solely from this illustration. Confirm the equipment-specific assembly instructions and approved materials with the manufacturer or qualified service team.

Spares support from DFT

Prepare for planned maintenance

Build a critical-spares list around your installed equipment, service history and operational priorities. Review quantities and lead times before a shutdown.

Match the complete configuration

A similar appearance does not confirm compatibility. Model, serial number, size, materials and operating conditions help identify a suitable replacement.

Resolve the cause of wear

Leakage or repeated component failure can indicate an operating or installation problem. Combine replacement with inspection and a review of the equipment duty.
