## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Coolant-resistant sealing ring for connection pipe 8131290
-   Confirmed in TAD16 circulation-pump arrangements
-   Seals the rigid pipe to the coolant-pump or housing connection
-   Not interchangeable with later sealing ring 21423788
-   Replace whenever the earlier connection pipe is removed
-   Engine type: Volvo Penta 16-litre industrial diesel

## 🔌 Function

Seals the coolant connection pipe to prevent pressure loss and external coolant leakage.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Coolant seepage around the connection pipe
-   Gradual coolant loss
-   Seal flattened, split or heat-hardened
-   Leakage caused by fitting the later seal to the earlier pipe

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Always fit a new sealing ring rather than reusing the old one — a ring that has been compressed once has taken a set and will not seal reliably a second time
-   Clean the groove or seat and check it for scoring, corrosion and old sealant before fitting; a mark across the sealing face will leak however good the ring is
-   Ease the ring into place without stretching, twisting or dragging it over sharp edges or threads, and check it is seated squarely all the way round before closing the joint
-   Do not add sealant or jointing compound unless the workshop manual for your engine calls for it, and tighten the joint or union to the figure given in that manual
-   Check the joint for weeping once the engine has been run up to temperature and allowed to cool, as many sealing rings only show a leak after a heat cycle
