Product Details
The Thermo King Hinge 998576 is a purpose-built hinge assembly for transport refrigeration doors. Specific material formulations, dimensions, and door-location fitment follow Thermo King manufacturing standards. Confirm unit model and serial number for exact application—Thermo King models commonly serviced in the region include Precedent S-610M, S-610DE, and Smart Reefer SR-4 equipped units. For precise fitment guidance, reference unit documentation or consult West Texas Thermo King parts specialists.
Efficiency & Sustainability
Proper hinge function directly impacts door sealing and system run-time. When doors seal correctly, compressor cycles reduce, supporting fuel-efficient cooling and lower emissions during transport refrigeration operations. This hinge aligns with Thermo King approaches to sustainable transport refrigeration and integrates into CARB Evergreen and Smart Reefer SR-4 maintenance programs when used on compliant units.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
Use OEM or equivalent fasteners and torque specifications for secure attachment. Inspect hinge pivots, bushings, and fasteners during scheduled preventive maintenance intervals and lubricate with manufacturer‑recommended products to preserve smooth operation. Replace any worn fasteners or damaged door hardware promptly to maintain seal integrity.
Real-World Applications
