Plates and gaskets must match the existing pack exactly. The good news is that you rarely need to be an expert to identify them — you just need to send the right information.
Start with the nameplate
The nameplate on the frame usually shows the manufacturer, model and serial number. A clear, straight-on photo of it is the single most useful thing you can send.
If the nameplate is missing or unreadable
- Overall plate height and width
- Port diameter and the distance between port centres
- Number of plates in the pack
- The pack length between frame and pressure plate
- Photos of a plate, front and back, including the gasket
Materials
If you know the plate material (for example stainless steel or titanium) and the gasket compound, include them. If not, tell us what each side of the unit carries and the operating temperature — that lets us recommend suitable materials.
Glued or clip-on gaskets
Some gaskets are glued into the plate groove; others clip on. A close-up photo of the gasket at the edge of the plate usually shows which.
Where the plate sits in the pack
The first and last plates of a pack, and plates with different port arrangements, can differ from the rest. If you are replacing only some plates, note their positions before the pack is disassembled.
You can send everything through our Find My Part form, including photos and drawings.
