Frequently asked questions
Does this valve come as a complete assembly?
Yes, this is a complete, factory-new assembly. It includes the valve itself, the long shaft assembly, the necessary microswitches (RPI Part #TUS057), and the control knob (RPI Part #TUK049), so you have everything required for a successful replacement.
Is this a direct replacement for my existing part?
Absolutely. The RPI TUV097 is a direct OEM-compatible replacement for the Tuttnaeur Part #CMT173-0031, ensuring it meets the exact specifications required for your autoclave’s operation.
Which specific Tuttnaeur models is this valve compatible with?
This valve is specifically engineered for the Tuttnaeur 1730MKV (120VAC) series. It is designed for units that feature a square door configuration.
Are there repair options available if I only need small parts?
Yes. If your valve does not require a full replacement, RPI offers dedicated kits for common maintenance needs:
- Repair Kit (MPV) (RPI Part #TUK037)
- Microswitch Kit (RPI Part #TUK061)
Where should this be mounted on the autoclave?
This assembly is designed specifically for installation on the right side of the machine. Please ensure your equipment configuration matches this mounting requirement.
Is this part manufactured to high standards?
Yes, this is a Factory New component sourced directly from the manufacturer. By using RPI parts, you ensure your equipment maintains factory-level performance and reliability within your laboratory or medical sterilization environment.
What is the expected lead time for this order?
Because this item ships directly from the manufacturer to ensure you receive the freshest factory-new stock, the estimated lead time is 1-2 weeks.
Does the assembly include the control knob?
Yes, the TUK049 control knob is included as part of the complete assembly, so you do not need to purchase it separately.
Why is the long shaft assembly important?
The long shaft assembly is a critical component for the proper mechanical function of the valve. Including it ensures that the replacement process is straightforward and that the valve operates exactly as intended by the original machine design.
Is this component still in production?
Yes, this part is not discontinued. It remains a standard, active replacement part manufactured specifically to support the maintenance of Tuttnaeur 1730MKV series sterilizers.
