2500 170 160 Gasket Kit for Air Brake Compressors

What is a compressor gasket kit?

A compressor gasket kit is a specialized component set used to renew the sealing integrity of a heavy commercial vehicle's air brake compressor. By replacing worn gaskets, technicians can restore the air-tight integration of the cylinder head, valve plate, and housing mating surfaces without replacing the entire unit.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This gasket kit is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems and is widely used in various heavy commercial vehicles, including Freightliner M2 112, Peterbilt 348, and Kenworth T370. It also serves various models from Volvo, Iveco, and Dongfeng, ensuring reliable performance across diverse fleets. The kit is specifically suitable for vehicles equipped with Cummins engines such as the ISC and ISB series.

Installation and maintenance

For optimal performance, technicians should inspect the compressor housing and flange surfaces during installation to ensure a clean mating area. Regular maintenance of the sealing elements helps prevent external oil or water leaks and maintains consistent air pressure output within the pneumatic system.

Selection guidance

Proper selection of the correct gasket profile is essential to prevent pressure drops or overheating in the compressor assembly. Consult your authorized distributor to ensure exact fitment for your specific compressor model.
