The Multiquip 6162136431 is a genuine OEM Gasket Thermo Housing DCA500SSK SA6D170BE designed for the DCA500SSK ultra-silent diesel generator series. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this gasket delivers an exact match to the original component, ensuring a proper seal at the thermostat housing on the SA6D170BE engine. If you're servicing a DCA500SSK generator, this is the correct OEM part for the job. Keeping the cooling circuit sealed and leak-free is critical to protecting the engine during extended operation, and the part ensures that integrity is maintained.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Sealing Material — Manufactured to the same compression and material specifications as the original, ensuring a consistent, leak-free seal at the thermostat housing interface.
- Direct Housing Interface Fit — Engineered to seat flush against the SA6D170BE thermostat housing mating surface, eliminating the need for trimming or shimming during installation.
- Confirmed Fitment for DCA500SSK — Specifically validated for the DCA500SSK ultra-silent diesel generator, so you can order with confidence for that application.
- Protects Engine Cooling Circuit Integrity — A failed or compressed thermostat housing gasket allows coolant to bypass or leak, leading to overheating and unplanned engine shutdowns on a high-output generator.
- Genuine Multiquip OEM Part — Supplied as an authentic Multiquip component, carrying part number 6162136431 exactly as specified in the OEM parts documentation for the DCA500SSK.
The thermostat housing gasket seals the joint between the thermostat housing and the engine block or coolant passage, preventing coolant from escaping the closed cooling loop. On a heavy-duty diesel generator like the DCA500SSK, this seal is under constant thermal cycling pressure — it expands and contracts with every run cycle. When the gasket deteriorates or fails, coolant can leak externally or allow air into the system, causing the engine to run hot and risk serious damage. Replacing it with the correct OEM gasket, part 6162136431, restores a proper seal and keeps the SA6D170BE engine's cooling system operating as designed.
