This is a packing seal, designed to prevent leakage of fluids or gases in various engine and hydraulic systems. It is manufactured to meet CAT's precise sealing specifications, ensuring a reliable barrier against leaks that a worn or degraded seal cannot provide. Observable symptoms of a failing packing include visible fluid leaks around the component, decreased system pressure, or the presence of oil or grease in unintended areas.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first indication of a failing packing seal is typically a visible fluid leak at the joint or shaft where the seal is located. If left unaddressed, the leak will likely worsen, leading to a significant loss of system fluid and potentially reduced component performance. Continued operation with a leaking seal can result in contamination of the surrounding area and potential damage to adjacent components due to fluid loss.
Carefully inspect the mating surface for any nicks or burrs that could damage the new seal during installation. Ensure the seal is seated squarely and not cocked in its groove to prevent premature failure.
When replacing a packing seal, always clean the sealing surfaces and inspect the shaft or bore for wear that could compromise the new seal's effectiveness.
