Hi, liebe Kollegen und Kolleginnen,

Freue mich auf Eure Hilfe.

| Danke! Das könnte wirklich passen. Habe noch eine französische Version, dort steht ***APPOINT D’EAU DN 40***; hatte für appoint jedoch nur **Unterstützung*** gefunden. |

Hi Kristin,
At first glance it looked to me like a general term to show what the kit consisted of: "Replacement kits typically include *(or are typically made up of)*: float valve, float ball and the appropriate float arm to suit the specific unit type. What about "Aufbau" as something suitably general?

Yep, I stand corrected!

Also, care to explain why exactly the reference to "DN 40" supports your interpretation?
I'm not saying that I've got a solution, or that yours is wrong.
For non-natives, this is obviously a tough nut to crack, and a textbook case of why one has to tread carefully as a translator ...
