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
Accessory classification framework
Required for the containment system to function correctly or be properly installed.
Improve usability, field handling, protection, or performance but may not be strictly required in all cases.
Field-replaceable items tied to maintenance, wear, or routine service.
Items with expected recurring replacement due to wear, contamination, or normal use cycle.
Enhancement items that add protection, convenience, or future upgrade value.
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
List only the accessories and components that are actually known, used, sold, or replaced in the field.
Anything tied to repeat purchase, wear, or service should be highlighted as recurring.
Do not let CTU-003 or broader ESG concepts mix into the immediate survival accessory structure.
