Standard Ignition VG272 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Tube Gasket

Overview

Standard Ignition VG272 is a direct-fit EGR tube gasket built for a precise seal in emission control service. It is made for Ram heavy-duty applications and uses OE-matching mounting geometry to simplify installation and help maintain proper exhaust gas flow.

• Direct-fit exhaust gas recirculation tube gasket
• Fiberglass construction for high-temperature sealing performance
• 1/16-inch thickness for a precise fit
• OE-matching mounting slot for easier alignment
• Built to withstand high pressure and heat in emission control use

Detailed Description

VG272 is an exhaust gas recirculation tube gasket engineered to restore the seal between EGR components and the engine side of the system. By helping maintain the correct amount of exhaust gas routed back to the cylinders, it supports proper emission control function and consistent sealing under demanding operating conditions. This part is a practical replacement for Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Ram 4500, and Ram 5500 applications where a precise EGR tube gasket is required. The Standard Ignition VG272 part number is also useful when verifying the correct gasket for service work, and VG272 cross-references 2-5150 and 5281349AA for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Exhaust leaks at the EGR tube connection
• Loss of sealing integrity from heat cycling
• Improper exhaust gas routing through the recirculation system
• Installation issues caused by mismatched gasket geometry

Installation Notes

Confirm the gasket shape and mounting slot match the removed part before installation. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly so the fiberglass gasket can seat evenly. Verify fitment against the vehicle application list for Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Ram 4500, and Ram 5500 models before service. The VG272 part number should be retained for future reference during maintenance or replacement.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures this gasket with industrial-grade materials and maintains quality control throughout production. The OE-style design and precision-machined mounting slot support consistent fit and repeatable service results.
