Detailed Product Description

This Victor Reinz EGR valve gasket (part number 71-13807-00) is molded from durable rubber material, providing a tight seal between the EGR valve and the intake manifold. The gasket measures 1.4950 inches in both length and width, with a thickness of 0.2750 inches, ensuring a consistent and secure fit. Its single port design matches the EGR valve port configuration on compatible vehicles, preventing exhaust gas leaks and maintaining proper emission control function.

Designed specifically for use in Ford Escape, Fusion, Freestyle, Mazda Tribute, Mercury Milan, and Mariner models, this gasket supports the emission control system by maintaining the integrity of the EGR valve connection. The absence of bolt holes indicates it fits a gasket surface where bolts are not required for mounting, simplifying installation and reducing potential leak points.
