48A002 - Walter Line-Mate III 120V Replacement Rating Plate

Genuine Walter Replacement Rating Plate for Line-Mate III

The Walter 48A002 is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) rating plate designed specifically for the Walter Line-Mate III linear finishing tool (120V version). In the demanding environment of industrial metalworking, power tools are subjected to heat, abrasion, dust, and chemical exposure. Over time, the identification labels and rating plates on these tools can become worn, scratched, or illegible. This replacement plate ensures that your Line-Mate III remains properly identified, displaying critical information such as voltage requirements, amperage, model numbers, and safety certifications.

Maintaining legible rating plates is not just a matter of aesthetics; it is often a safety and compliance requirement. Regulatory bodies like OSHA in the United States and various safety organizations globally require that power tools have legible markings indicating their electrical specifications to prevent misuse. For instance, plugging a 120V tool into a higher voltage outlet due to a missing label can result in catastrophic tool failure and operator injury. The 48A002 rating plate restores this critical information to the tool chassis, ensuring that operators can easily verify the tool's power requirements before use.

This part is manufactured to Walter Surface Technologies' high standards, ensuring it fits perfectly on the housing of the Line-Mate III. The Line-Mate system itself is a versatile linear finishing tool used for graining, polishing, and cleaning metals. Given the high-value nature of this equipment, using genuine replacement parts helps maintain the tool's value and functionality. This specific plate is designated for the 120V model, which is the standard voltage for most North American industrial hand tools. Whether you are refurbishing an older unit or replacing a damaged housing component, this rating plate is the final touch needed to return the tool to factory-standard condition.

Installation is straightforward, typically involving the removal of the old, damaged plate and the application of the new one using its adhesive backing or mounting points, depending on the specific revision of the tool housing. By keeping your equipment clearly labeled with the Walter 48A002, you ensure seamless workflow integration and adherence to equipment maintenance logs.
