The Multiquip 17228Z5T000 is a genuine OEM Air Cleaner Packing A designed for GA3.6HR gasoline-powered generators and GAW180HE series arc welders. As a factory-sourced component, 17228Z5T000 delivers an exact material match to the original part, ensuring the air cleaner assembly seals correctly and performs as intended. This part is confirmed to fit GA3.6HR, GAW180HEA, GAW180HE1, and GAW180HE models, making it a straightforward, confidence-inspiring replacement when servicing these units.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Sealing Material — Factory-sourced packing compound ensures the correct compression and sealing properties for the GX340RT2-equipped air cleaner housing, preventing unfiltered air from bypassing the element.
- Drop-In Fitment for GX340RT2 Applications — Engineered specifically for the GX340RT2 engine configuration, this packing seats directly into the air cleaner assembly without trimming or modification.
- Confirmed Compatibility — Fits GA3.6HR gasoline generators and GAW180HE, GAW180HE1, and GAW180HEA arc welders from the Multiquip lineup.
- Protects Engine Air Intake Integrity — A correctly seated air cleaner packing keeps the intake path fully sealed; a deteriorated or missing packing allows dust and debris into the engine, accelerating internal wear and reducing service life.
- Fuel System and Engine Protection — By maintaining a proper seal around the air cleaner, this packing supports accurate air-fuel mixture delivery and helps the engine maintain consistent power output during generator and welder operation.
The air cleaner packing is the sealing gasket that sits between the air cleaner assembly and the engine intake, preventing unfiltered air from entering the combustion chamber. Without an intact packing, fine dust and debris can bypass the air filter element entirely, causing accelerated cylinder and piston wear that shortens engine life significantly. On generator and welder applications where engines run for extended periods under load, a compromised packing can also disrupt the air-fuel ratio, resulting in rough running, increased fuel consumption, and difficulty maintaining steady output.
