Scania heater valve 1868457: define the assembly in your RFQ
Buying heater valve 1868457 in bulk? Use the SAP-S303 catalog record to clarify assembly scope, connection evidence and receiving requirements.
For heater-valve sourcing, the first price comparison should be about what is included. A quote for a pictured assembly is difficult to compare with a quote for an unspecified component. The SHIRE record for SAP-S303 lists 1868457 and 1789068 under SCANIA, but has no technical remark. Here is a practical way to ask about that specific record without filling the missing specifications with guesses.
Separate catalog references from a replacement claim
The two references 1868457 and 1789068 appear on the same SAP-S303 catalog line. This records how the item is listed; it does not establish a manufacturer supersession history, vehicle-year coverage or compatibility with every Scania truck. SAP-S302 is a separate line with 1450166 and 1795464. Do not combine these into one interchangeable group because the part names are similar. Keep the number from the original component and the proposed SHIRE item number in separate fields.
Define exactly what the quoted assembly includes
Ask the supplier to identify the complete proposed unit and mark any separate items in the quotation photograph. If an actuator, connector housing, bracket, seals or fasteners are required, list each as “included”, “not included” or “to confirm” after obtaining an answer. This is a scope checklist, not a claim that those items come with SAP-S303. A photograph alone does not settle the contents of a shipped package. Resolve exclusions before comparing unit prices or approving a sample.
Obtain a usable connection and mounting record
The current SAP-S303 catalog image is only 176 × 156 pixels. It helps identify the catalog entry but is not sufficient for checking small connector features or reading dimensions. Request sharp current photographs of the proposed unit from several sides and a drawing or measured dimensions where needed. Confirm the connector, hose connections and mounting arrangement against reliable information for the original assembly. The public record gives no voltage, hose diameter or flow specification: those fields should remain unconfirmed until supported. Installation and electrical or fluid-system testing belong to qualified personnel.
Compare scope first, then price and delivery
Prepare one row for original reference 1868457, candidate SAP-S303, quantity and destination, followed by the agreed assembly contents and the evidence used to approve them. Ask each quotation to identify exclusions and any still-pending technical detail. For receiving, keep the confirmed photo or drawing reference, item marking and packing description together; do not substitute a generic “Scania heater valve” label for the approved item. If you are considering SAP-S302 as well, request it separately. The catalog links below support this comparison, while current price, lead time and sample availability require confirmation.
