How Vanguard Part
Numbers Work

Vanguard part numbers are built around a product group followed by the size or configuration. This helps distributors and order desk staff identify the correct product family quickly.

Example: 3815 identifies the product group. The remaining digits identify the size or configuration.
3815-XXXX
3815 3815

Product group
Identifies the Vanguard product family.

XXXX XXXX

Size / configuration
Identifies the required size or sling configuration.

Use the product group first, then match the remaining digits to the required size or configuration.
