Detailed Product Description

Gates manufactures each new pump with premium alloy materials and performs functional testing of seals and bearings, along with leakage testing of the casting and assembled unit, to help verify sealing performance before installation. This part cross-references Airtex AW4086 and Dayco DP830 for the same application.
