Subject: Tu-Flo 501 Three Ring Piston and Pin Kit Obsolescence

Effective immediately the Tu-Flo 501 three ring piston and pin kit is being obsoleted and
superseded by a five ring configuration for all service new and remanufactured compressors.
Provided the additional rings are installed, the five ring piston is directly interchangeable with the
three ring piston.

Below is a listing of the three ring piston and pin kits and ring sets and their appropriate five ring
replacement. The new ring set is designed to service the new five ring pistons as well as the
obsolete three ring pistons. When servicing the three ring piston refer to the instruction sheet
provided in the kit to ensure the appropriate rings are discarded.
