# 977639 Nipple | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta nipple weighing 0.027 kg and listed for 53 applications across TAD, TWD, TD and TAMD engines. It supersedes two earlier numbers, 976973 and 993451, one of which was previously catalogued as an o-ring — so an old parts list may describe this position as a sealing item rather than a fitting.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** TAD, TWD, TD, TAMD

## 🔌 Function

Forms a threaded union between a pipe or hose end and a port in a casting, giving a sealed take-off point for a fluid line.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Weeping or dripping at the union under pressure
-   Thread damaged, cross-started or stripped
-   Hexagon flats rounded from being nipped up with the wrong tool
-   Corrosion or pitting on the sealing face
-   Union will not seal however hard it is pulled up

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The earlier catalogue entry behind one of the superseded numbers was an o-ring, so check whether you need the fitting, the seal, or both before ordering from an old list
-   Renew the sealing washer or o-ring at the union at the same time rather than reusing it
