Proprietary cross-reference to American-made parts
Running imported European heaters or sensors with no domestic supplier? We identify the American-made equivalent that matches your form factor, wattage and performance.
Send us the part — we'll find the match
No datasheet? No problem. A photo, a nameplate, or even just dimensions and wattage are usually enough to get started.
Band Heater Cross-Reference
Imported ceramic or mica band heaters matched to domestic equivalents in OD, width, wattage and voltage. Terminal style aligned to your wiring.
Cartridge & Cast-In Cross-Reference
Diameter, length, wattage and lead-wire configuration — matched to Watlow, H&S or Thermal Corp equivalents with equal or better watt-density.
Thermocouple & RTD Cross-Reference
Probe type, sheath diameter, connector style, junction type and temperature range — matched to Pyromation or domestic equivalents.
Controller Cross-Reference
Discontinued or imported controllers replaced with current Watlow, Eurotherm or Tri-Volt models — with I/O mapping and parameter transfer.
One unavailable part can shut down a line
We've been crossing over parts since before most European manufacturers had U.S. distribution. That means practical knowledge of what actually fits, not just what a spreadsheet suggests.
- Form factor verified — not just datasheet-matched
- Watt-density checked for equivalent thermal performance
- Terminal/connector style confirmed for your wiring
- Certifications mapped (UL, CE, ATEX → domestic equivalents)
- Documentation provided for your maintenance files
Cross-reference FAQ
No — cross-reference consultation is free. If the substitute part is available from our stock or an authorized line card brand, you just pay for the part. Custom fabrication (if needed) would be quoted separately.
We've built custom elements to replicate the original form factor — same OD, same terminal layout, same wattage, in domestic materials. We can also redesign your mounting if a slight geometry change gives you better availability.
Yes. We identify the UL-recognized equivalent or, where needed, provide a component that can be certified for your application. We document the cross-reference so your safety compliance is traceable.
Email photos of the nameplate, a hand-drawn dimensional sketch, or just list the OD, width, wattage and voltage. Even a phone description works if you've got the part in front of you. We'll confirm the match before you order.
Parts we cross on a regular basis
Imported Band Heaters
German, Italian and Korean ceramic/mica bands → Watlow or H&S equivalents in standard and custom widths.
Obsolete Cartridges
Discontinued diameters and wattages rebuilt with current Watlow or Thermal Corp sheath technology.
Foreign-Made Thermocouples
Non-standard connector, probe diameter or sheath material matched to Pyromation or custom-built equivalents.
End-of-Life Controllers
Program parameters mapped to current Eurotherm or Watlow models, with I/O wiring cross-reference provided.
