AC Receiver Drier Specification Example for Long-Haul Trucks: Drilled and Slotted
AC Receiver Drier Specification Example for Long-Haul Trucks: Drilled and Slotted
This is a worked specification for ac receiver drier in a drilled and slotted programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The drilled and slotted version exists because the duty cycle on long-haul trucks is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually premature wear on the first batch.

Where this example applies
Programmes that run drilled and slotted most often specify this build for long-haul trucks. Related applications include boat trailers, aftermarket retail, dealership service, utility trailers, passenger cars.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
