    Bob,

    Over the years on just about any forum including this one members have posted sources, part numbers, prices, etc. Don’t hesitate if you have information about that which can benefit members.

    We have both praised and chastized Prevost on forums because on some items such as air bags their prices are unbeatable, yet on brake chambers they are significantly out of line with prices double or more over parts house prices.

    To add to the above discussion, manufacturers such as Prevost often use off the shelf components, but for whatever reason they have the manufacturer of those items assign a proprietary part number. Since the discussion is about Norgrens I will use that as an example. At one time the Norgrens used on our coaches had the manufacturer’s model number on it. Then the same valve when intalled had a different part number which could not be crossed over to a Norgren distributor’s model number. Same valve, different number.

    The same thing applies to other items like air bags.

    If you can cross to trade numbers or the manufactuers numbers you can check prices from a variety of sources.

    In searching for a source for Norgren valve repair kits, I located the following company that also carries the valves. In September, I purchased a 5-port valve (NR K81EA00-KAC-KAC) for $75.61 – brand new. The part number is identical to the one removed.
