Help me come up with a term for replacement part

Post by Luke »

In our ecommerce sites, we have products that have replacement parts. Currently we have all replacement parts under the "replacement parts" heading on the product page. BUT, we're trying to come up with a new heading for parts that need to be replaced on a regular basis. Parts that need to be replaced on a regular basis are different than just parts that may need to be replaced.

So, the word we came up with to use around the office for parts that MUST be replaced every X weeks is "consumable parts", but we really don't think the term would work for our customer base. Can anybody think of a good word for these kinds of replacement parts? Something better than "consumable parts".

Provisional Part is what I would use, and have seen others use.
