831126-1 – Spectro | Jet-Care 300 Hour APU Inspection Kit (Honeywell GTCP36-150)
Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.
Overview
The 831126-1 is a genuine OEM-specified, 300-hour inspection kit for the Honeywell GTCP36-150 series Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). This flight-critical kit is provided by Spectro | Jet-Care, a world leader in aviation fluid analysis, and is the approved kit for performing the Spectrometric Oil Analysis Program (SOAP) as part of the APU's scheduled 300-hour maintenance event.
This is not just a simple oil sampling kit; it is a comprehensive inspection kit that includes the critical consumable components required for the 300-hour service. The kit contains a new fuel filter, a new oil filter, associated O-rings, and the laboratory-certified containers to return the used oil and filter for analysis. Performing this analysis is a fundamental part of the engine's condition-based maintenance, providing a detailed "blood test" of the APU's internal health.
Key Features
OEM-Approved Kit: The specified kit for the 300-hour inspection of the Honeywell GTCP36-150 APU.
Complete Inspection Solution: Includes both the consumable filters and O-rings for the service and the materials for the Spectrometric Oil Analysis Program (SOAP).
Critical Diagnostic Tool: Enables the trend-monitoring of microscopic wear metals in the oil, which is the primary method for detecting the early stages of bearing or gear failure.
Provided by Spectro | Jet-Care: The analysis is backed by a world-renowned, certified laboratory, ensuring accurate and reliable diagnostic results.

Why Choose 831126-1?
The 831126-1 kit is the most reliable and efficient way to perform the APU's 300-hour service. It bundles all the necessary, certified consumable parts with the critical SOAP analysis in a single part number. Using this kit ensures that the replacement filters and seals are OEM-specified and that the oil analysis is performed by a qualified lab, maintaining the APU's airworthiness and providing the essential trend data needed to ensure its long-term health and prevent catastrophic, unscheduled failures.
The engineering principle behind the 831126-1 kit is Spectrometric Oil Analysis Program (SOAP), a cornerstone of predictive, condition-based maintenance. This process uses a spectrometer to analyze the used oil sample for the precise parts-per-million (PPM) concentration of various wear metals (e.g., iron, copper, silver, aluminum, titanium). Each internal component of the APU—such as bearings, gears, and splines—is made of a specific alloy. By comparing the analysis results to a database of known "healthy" engines, laboratory technicians can identify an abnormal increase in a specific metal. For example, a spike in silver might indicate bearing cage wear, while a rise in iron could point to gear fatigue. This allows a maintenance team to proactively investigate and fix a developing problem long before it leads to a catastrophic and far more expensive in-flight shutdown.
Note: This kit is intended for use by certified A&P/IA mechanics. All maintenance must be performed in strict accordance with the Honeywell APU maintenance manual. The included sample bottles and forms must be filled out completely to ensure accurate laboratory analysis and trend monitoring.
