Atlas Copco XRVS455Md 1998 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Parts List

I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years. ASE Master, six bays in San Antonio. I’ve lost count of the times a guy brings in a compressor that’s down because he ordered the wrong seal kit. The part looked right in the aftermarket catalog, but it wasn’t. That’s why factory documents like this Atlas Copco XRVS455Md 1998 Parts Catalog exist. 137 pages of the exact part numbers, registration codes, and exploded views that Atlas Copco’s own engineers published. No guessing. No “this should fit.” You get the OEM breakdown.

The PDF has three main sections: Instruction Manual, Part List, and Glossary. The Part List starts at page 297 and runs through to page 394. Each assembly is broken down with registration codes and tab numbers. Need the blowdown valve components? Look up the Tab: 39 reference in the index. The Glossary covers translations across ten languages – English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Swedish, Italian, Danish, Norwegian, Greek, Portuguese, Finnish. That matters when you’re cross-referencing parts from a Belgian factory.

137 Pages of Factory Part Numbers – What You Actually Get

You’re not getting a reprint of a third-party binder. This is the original 1998 Atlas Copco publication, printed matter number 2927 1242 02. The Table of Contents lists three folders: Instruction Manual, Part List, Glossary. The Part List itself includes every major system – activating cylinder, aftercooler, air inlet/outlet, axles (with and without road brakes), brake cable and shoe assemblies, battery and battery cable, blowdown valve, clamping, closed side panels, coldstart equipment, combi-cooler. Each entry has a page range, not a single page. For instance, the axles section spans pages 364-367 for units without road brakes, plus 365 and 371-373 for units with road brakes. That level of granularity matters when you’re rebuilding a rental fleet machine and need to know which brake shoe part number applies to your chassis.

Instruction Manual, Part List, and Glossary – What’s Inside

The first folder is the Instruction Manual. That’s the operating and maintenance guide. Then the Part List – the meat of the document. It’s organized alphabetically by component name, then by page number. The index at the front of the Part List (page 297) is a quick reference: “ACTIVATING CYLINDER … 331, 332”. You turn to those pages and see exploded diagrams with callouts and part numbers. The Glossary (pages 395 onward) translates every term into 11 languages. If you’re troubleshooting a unit that came from a European rental yard, you can match the Swedish “Reservdelsförteckning” to the English “Parts list” without confusion.

Why OEM Parts Catalogs Beat Aftermarket Schematics

Aftermarket parts sites often pull images from generic databases. I’ve compared them side-by-side on a V6000TV tracked paver – the bolt pattern on the aftercooler bracket was wrong. This catalog is a direct scan of the factory print. The registration code and modification index (Modificatie 0 5 XII) tell you exactly which revision of the machine this covers. Atlas Copco’s Portable Air Division in Aartselaar, Belgium, issued this in October 1998. You can verify the document number against their records. That traceability is what keeps a 500-psi air system from blowing a hose because you used a bolt two threads too short.

For related equipment, check the Atlas Copco V6000TV Tracked Paver Spare Parts List – same factory-sourced detail. The Atlas Copco ROC F9-11 Spare Parts Catalogue covers the drill rig line. If you need a wheeled finisher, the Atlas Copco F800W Spare Parts List Wheeled Finisher is also factory-original.

Who Needs This Parts Catalog

If you own an XRVS455Md – whether it’s in a construction fleet, a utility company yard, or your own shop – you need this. The DIY mechanic who tries to rebuild an air end without the correct part numbers will waste money on returns. The home garage enthusiast who bought a surplus compressor and wants to restore it to running condition will save hours of cross-referencing. The professional technician running a mobile repair truck needs to confirm the part number before placing an order. This catalog eliminates the phone call to the dealer for a diagram. It also helps if you’re familiar with the Automotive Industry Overview – the same principles of OEM documentation apply to heavy equipment.

Using the Part List to Avoid Downtime

Concrete example: the brake cable assembly on a unit with road brakes. The Part List shows pages 364, 371, and 388. You open to page 388 – it’s part of the “AIR RECEIVER (PNEUMATIC BRAKES)” section. The callout numbers correspond to a parts table with Atlas Copco part numbers. You order exactly that cable. No guessing which length is correct for your serial number range. The glossary also includes terms like “Blowdown Valve” – page 331. That valve vents the receiver when the engine shuts down. If you buy a generic valve, the cracking pressure might be off. The catalog tells you the original valve’s registration code. That’s safety, not convenience.

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications for the XRVS455Md?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service or repair manual. It lists part numbers, exploded views, and cross-references. Torque specs are found in the separate service manual for the same model. If you need torque values for the cylinder head or aftercooler bolts, you need the factory service manual.

Can I use this catalog to identify parts for a different Atlas Copco compressor model?

This catalog is specific to the XRVS455Md. The part numbers, registration codes, and diagrams apply only to that model. Using it for another model — say an XRVS355 or XRVS606 — will lead to wrong parts. The internal components like the comaid cooler or activating cylinder vary significantly between displacement ratings. Get the catalog that matches your machine’s exact model and year. Atlas Copco published separate parts lists for each variant. The glossary section (pages 395+) is generic, but the assembly pages are model-locked.

Access the Factory Manual now and save yourself the headache of mismatched parts. That PDF sits on your tablet or printed in the shop binder. When the XRVS455Md goes down, you pull up the Part List, find the tab reference, and order the exact component. No reprints, no guesswork. Just factory data from 1998 that still applies today.
