Understanding Parker's 3-Year Leak Free Warranty

In hydraulic systems, even a small leak can lead to downtime, rework, and costly warranty claims. Inconsistent assembly practices or mismatched components only increase that risk.

Parker’s 3-Year Leak-Free Warranty, through the Genuine Parker Parts (GPP) Program, focuses on total system reliability, not just individual components. It helps manufacturers improve consistency, reduce variability, and build confidence into every machine they produce.

What is the GPP Program and 3-Year Leak Free Warranty

The GPP Program is a certification-based program for equipment manufacturers who incorporate Parker fluid connectors and hydraulic components into their system designs.

Rather than covering parts alone, the program supports proper system design, standardized assembly methods, and long-term performance.

How the Warranty Works

Participation follows a structured process:

1. Design Review
Parker and Triad application engineers collaborate with the customer’s engineering team to evaluate routing, connection points, sealing methods, and component selection.

2. Assembly Standardization
Customers receive guidance on approved assembly practices, including cleanliness standards, torque procedures, installation methods, and Parker Dry Technology principles to reduce variation and prevent leaks.

3. Training & Certification
Assembly personnel are trained to ensure consistent application of approved methods. Once a prototype or production model meets program requirements, that specific model is certified and eligible for the 3-Year Leak-Free Warranty.

Program Requirements

To qualify, customers must:

• Use Parker fluid connector and hydraulic components in the approved system
• Follow Parker-approved design guidelines for routing, sealing, and installation
• Apply approved assembly, installation, and cleanliness standards
• Train assemblers and technicians on Parker procedures
• Maintain documented quality control processes
• Meet bend radius and installation specifications
• Follow hydraulic fluid cleanliness and flushing procedures
• Complete certification documentation on a model-by-model basis

These requirements are designed to ensure repeatable assembly and long-term system reliability.

What about Triad Engineered Systems? Are They Covered? 

Yes! Simply ask your Triad engineer for the GPP Program and 3-Year Leak Free Warranty at the beginning of the design phase.

Value Beyond Warranty Coverage

The true value of the 3-Year Leak-Free Warranty extends beyond coverage.

By incorporating structured design review, standardized assembly practices, and reliable Parker Parts, manufacturers can:

• Reduce rework and warranty claims
• Improve production consistency
• Minimize startup and field failures
• Increase customer confidence in system performance

The result is equipment built to defined standards — and backed by a warranty that supports long-term reliability.
