Internal Commercial + Technical Structure

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.
