Bootstrap Reservoirs

Parker bootstrap reservoirs — designed and manufactured by Parker Aerospace’s Hydraulic Systems Division — are found on many of today’s leading military and commercial aircraft, including the F-22 Raptor, F-16 Fighting Falcon, FA-18 EF Hornet, C-17 Globemaster, V-22 Osprey, and 787 Dreamliner. Our reservoirs range in size from 21.5 to 3,119 cubic inches and operate at system pressures between 3,000 to 5,000 psi.
Working side by side with our customers, we have provided everything from stand-alone reservoirs to highly customized and fully integrated reservoirfilter modules. Our reservoirfilter modules contain electrical sensors for measuring fluid level, temperature, and pressure, as well as filter replacement indicators. Most of our reservoirs also include an overboard relief valve and a bleed valve. New Parker proprietary auto-bleed valve technology is also available to improve system performance and reduce the time and cost of maintenance.
