Service Parts
They are supplementary parts for repairs of products delivered to customers. When some of a product is damaged and it is repaired, not only parts for the damaged part but also supplementary parts to put them to the product are often necessary. When providing these ones as Service Parts, It is necessary to supply them together. For example, when a faucet is supplied as Service Parts, as depicted in the figure, a gland flange is also usually supplied together.
