The Multiquip 14721Z5K900 is a genuine OEM Exhaust Valve GX270UT2SMXC designed for the MVH308GH and MVH208GH reversible plate compactors. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this valve is manufactured to the exact tolerances required by the GX270UT2SMXC engine fitted to these heavy-duty MVH series machines. Confirm your model code before ordering — 14721Z5K900 is the correct OEM reference for both the MVH308GH and MVH208GH.
Key Features
- OEM Valve Integrity — Manufactured to the precise head geometry and stem dimensions required for proper sealing in the GX270UT2SMXC engine, ensuring consistent combustion chamber pressure.
- Direct Engine Application — Engineered specifically for the GX270UT2SMXC engine configuration, dropping into the exhaust port without machining or modification to the cylinder head.
- MVH Series Compatibility — Verified fitment for the MVH308GH and MVH208GH reversible plate compactors, covering both weight classes in the MVH heavy-duty line.
- Sustained Compaction Output — A correctly seated exhaust valve maintains full engine compression, allowing the plate compactor to deliver consistent centrifugal force through every compaction pass.
- Fuel System Safety Relevance — A worn or burnt exhaust valve allows combustion gases to bypass the seat, causing rough running, overheating, and potential engine damage that can compromise safe jobsite operation.
The exhaust valve controls the release of spent combustion gases from the engine cylinder after each power stroke. Seated against the valve seat in the cylinder head, it opens briefly to allow exhaust gases to exit, then closes tightly to seal the combustion chamber for the next compression cycle. When an exhaust valve wears, warps, or burns through, compression drops sharply — the engine loses power, runs unevenly, and can overheat. On a reversible plate compactor like the MVH308GH or MVH208GH, this directly impacts the machine's ability to generate and sustain the compaction force needed for effective soil and aggregate work.
