Accessories & Components

This page separates the containment accessory structure into mandatory, operational, replacement, consumable, and optional items. Its purpose is to clarify what supports the main system, what drives recurring revenue, and what should be prioritized under limited time and resources.

Purpose of this page

Separate the accessory layer from the core containment structure.
Identify items required for function versus items that support service or replacement revenue.
Map components that attach to CTU-002 and related assemblies.
Preserve accessory knowledge that may otherwise be scattered or informal.
Support both internal control and future commercialization decisions.

Use rule

Treat this page as both a technical support map and a revenue structure map. Do not just list items. For each accessory or component, record why it exists, when it is needed, how often it is replaced, and whether it is mandatory, optional, or recurring.

Accessory classification framework

Mandatory accessories

Required for the containment system to function correctly or be properly installed.

Operational accessories

Improve usability, field handling, protection, or performance but may not be strictly required in all cases.

Replacement parts

Field-replaceable items tied to maintenance, wear, or routine service.

Consumables

Items with expected recurring replacement due to wear, contamination, or normal use cycle.

Optional upgrades

Enhancement items that add protection, convenience, or future upgrade value.

Future module path

Items that connect to later development such as level safety, MFT, or multifunction system expansion.

Master accessories & components register

Category	Item No.	Item Name	Used With	Purpose	Attach Rate	Replacement Cycle	Priority	Notes
Mandatory	ACC-001	Mechanical fitting set	CTU-002	Supports proper installation and fit to the containment system.	100%	As needed by assembly	Core	May also remain under main BOM if treated as integral assembly.
Operational	ACC-002	Rain guard	CTU-002 / top-side interface	Provides top-side protection and helps shield the containment area from weather exposure.	TBD	Low frequency	Active	Confirm whether standard on all applications or only selected installs.
Replacement	ACC-003	Felt / seal contact component	CTU-002	Supports sealing interface and leakage control.	TBD	Service-dependent	Recurring	Likely one of the most important recurring parts to track.
Replacement	ACC-004	Urethane sealing element	CTU-002	Primary sealing performance component.	TBD	Service-dependent	Recurring	Track failure mode, material consistency, and actual field life.
Operational	ACC-005	Top-side accessory interface parts	CTU-002 / MFT path	Supports rain guard, lubricator-related elements, and later multifunction expansion.	TBD	Low frequency	Future-linked	Keep visible but do not overbuild now.
Optional Upgrade	ACC-006	Float switch mounting hardware	Level Safety / CTU path	Supports level safety integration as an upgrade or added protection module.	TBD	Low frequency	Future-linked	Connect to Float Switch / Level Safety page.
Consumable	ACC-007	Field service seal consumables	Maintenance / service	Used during field maintenance, replacement, or containment refresh work.	TBD	Higher frequency	Recurring	Create specific sub-lines once actual items are confirmed.

Replace placeholder items with actual accessory lines as you document them. Add rows freely; the goal is clarity, not perfection.

What matters most commercially

Items tied to installed-base support should be prioritized first.
Recurring replacement parts often matter more than low-volume one-time accessories.
Any accessory with frequent field replacement should be treated as strategic, not secondary.
Optional upgrades should only move forward if they improve control, relevance, or margin.

What matters most technically

Parts affecting sealing, leakage control, or proper fit are high priority.
Weather exposure and field durability components should be tracked carefully.
Any component that causes repeat issues should be linked to the Failure / Improvement Log.
Level safety-related accessory parts should be separated clearly for future certification path.

Suggested way to build this page

1. Start with real active items

List only the accessories and components that are actually known, used, sold, or replaced in the field.

2. Mark recurring items clearly

Anything tied to repeat purchase, wear, or service should be highlighted as recurring.

3. Separate future concepts

Do not let CTU-003 or broader ESG concepts mix into the immediate survival accessory structure.

Internal guidance

This page is where the business becomes practical. The core containment system may define the product, but accessories and replacement components often reveal how the business really survives. Use this page to clarify what is essential, what repeats, and what should stay in focus while the broader system is being rebuilt selectively.
