CAT 144-6142 1.71mm Integral Seal Gasket FKM

CAT 144-6142 1.71mm Integral Seal Gasket FKM wird anhand der Caterpillar-Teilenummer identifiziert 144-6142. A static gasket with a bonded sealing element that helps seal a joint while maintaining controlled compression between mating components. CAT identifies an integral edge-bonded gasket with nominal thickness 1.71 mm and a fluoroelastomer sealing compound. This listing is intended for engineers, fleet maintenance teams and international B2B parts buyers who need a clear product specification and a defensible method of checking the application before ordering.

Product Overview and Function

A static gasket with a bonded sealing element that helps seal a joint while maintaining controlled compression between mating components. CAT identifies an integral edge-bonded gasket with nominal thickness 1.71 mm and a fluoroelastomer sealing compound.

Even inexpensive service parts can determine whether a larger repair succeeds. Dimensions, mating geometry, material and installation sequence should be checked against the exact manufacturer drawing rather than assuming that another component with a similar appearance is interchangeable.

Key Product Features

  • 1.71 mm material-thickness class
  • FKM primary sealing material
  • Rubber sealing element with supporting carrier
  • Designed for static sealed interfaces, not a universal water-pump gasket

Fitment guidance: Model numbers are representative applications from the Caterpillar public product listing, not a guarantee for every production year or serial number. Engine and machine configurations vary, so final compatibility must be checked in CAT SIS or with the relevant parts diagram before shipment.

Common Problems and Inspection Points

  • Leakage at a gasketed joint may be caused by compression set, incorrect surface finish or improper bolt preload.
  • CAT notes that FKM has specific fluid-compatibility limitations; it must not be selected by shape alone.

Do not replace a component based on one symptom alone. Inspection should include the adjacent parts, installation condition and available equipment diagnostics so that a new part is not installed into an unresolved system fault.

Installation and Maintenance Notes

  • Ensure the sealing carrier is positioned correctly and mating surfaces are clean.
  • Avoid stretching, folding or substituting an unverified gasket where the service procedure specifies an integral seal.

The original failure should be understood before new parts are installed. Clean sealing surfaces, correct fasteners, controlled tightening and inspection of adjacent parts are often as important as the replacement component itself. Use the applicable Caterpillar service manual for torque figures, clearance settings, calibration instructions and safe test procedures; those values can differ between engine arrangements.

Vor der Bestellung

  • Verify 144-6142 in the actual assembly diagram and compare the seal outline.
  • Confirm chemical/fluid compatibility and 1.71 mm thickness in the service application.
  • Please send the requested quantity, shipping destination, engine or machine serial number, and photographs of the old part or packaging if available.
