Downloadable Files

PDF files are available for each product type that contain the same specification data available in our online and printed catalogs. To download these files so as to view and print them, you need Adobe Acrobat™ Reader (it's free).

When applicable,
CAD drawing files are also available for downloading.

You will find links to downloadable files on
product information pages which are accessed via all three search types; parametric, directory tree, and text search.

 

Parametric Search

When you get to a catalog page, specify one or more parameters in the Parametric Search page that appears in the right frame of your browser (if you choose to use another search type first, a link is provided in the leftmost frame to return the parametric search frame to yor window). Click the Match button at the bottom of the form. A parts list will appear that match your chosen parameters. If the list is too long or not long enough, click on the Refine Parameters button and define more or fewer parameters.

Once an exact or near match is found in the parts list page, click on its part number or button. A product information page will appear (for more information about the product's line specifications use the
Product Line Specs directory tree — see below). If you want a quote for that part, click the Add To Quote button. Fill in the quantity desired in the page that appears and click Okay.

If a 'Special' or 'Other Value' is chosen for a parameter, a window will appear that will provide fields for you to specify the values you desire. When completed, click the
Configure Part Number button. A product information page will result with a generated part number and specifications for that general product. If you wish to obtain a quote for that part, use the Add To Quote button, fill in the quantity in the page that appears and click Okay.

 

Product Line Specs

The Product Line Specs directory tree resides on the leftmost frame of our catalog and contains links to our stock product line, associated product information, and PDF files.

Use the arrows to open and close product category and product types. Click on the buttons within the product type lists to access specific information.

To find and choose parts in the
Product Line Specs, open a category and then a product type. Click the Stock Spec List button. A standard product line list will appear and includes specification tables and links to more product information. Click on a part number or its button to link to these information pages. To request a quote, click the Add to Quote Bin and fill in the quantity in the page that appears and click Okay.

The directory trees also include links to:

  • specific categories of product data
  • application information
  • engineering information
  • terminology and glossaries
  • product representatives and distributors

 

Part Number Search

Use partial or complete part numbers to search our database or search for terms by entering them in the Part Number Search text box in the leftmost frame of our catalog. Entry of a complete part number will access its product information while incomplete part numbers and terms will generate a descriptive list of 'hits' and links.

Once a product information page is accessed you can create a quote bin by clicking
Add To Quote or modify the part to your specifications by clicking the Special Options button. Make your modifications in that page. First use the Add Special buttons for each modification. The page will refresh for each button you click so please choose all of the parameters you want to modify prior to filling out the entry forms. When completed click the Add to Quote Bin and fill in the quantity in the page that appears and click Okay.

 

Quote Bin

Stock part numbers, 'special' part numbers, specifications, and the quantity of your chosen items are compiled in the Quote Bin. Complete the form, click the enter button, and your local distributor or representative contact information will appear. Feel free to contact them for verification, technical questions, and delivery times. Otherwise, we will contact you about the quote.

Access the
Quote Bin anytime by clicking the Quote Bin button in the leftmost frame of our catalog pages.
