Expansion Valve for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: Stainless Steel
This expansion valve for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is specified around stainless steel, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is warranty claims traced back to a single lot, or lead time that slipped twice before bulk started. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ISO/TS 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
