The two-part ring K 67013 is a split/clamp style sealing or locating ring used on the engine’s air branch connections to allow assembly around ducts or piping without disassembly of long runs. Its two-piece design enables quick installation and ensures even clamping force around flanges or hoses, reducing air leaks and vibration-induced loosening. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant metal or coated steel, this ring is important for maintaining intake or scavenging efficiency; inspect for distortion, corrosion or loose fasteners during routine service to preserve air system performance.

O-ring for Nozzle Holder (Code Number K 27211)

Written by

The O-ring K 27211 seals the interface between the injector nozzle and its holder, preventing high-pressure fuel from bypassing the nozzle seat. Typically specified from a fuel-resistant, heat-stable elastomer, this ring must retain elasticity under pressure pulses and temperature swings to preserve injection precision. Because O-rings are wearable, routine checks for hardening, cuts or compression set — and prompt replacement with the correct material grade — are simple but high-impact actions that keep combustion consistent and avoid fuel leaks.

The nut K 27209 is an unglamorous but safety-critical fastener that secures the fuel injection valve assembly on the Sulzer ZV40/48. By clamping the valve body and keeping sealing surfaces and washers compressed, this nut helps maintain injection pressure and timing while resisting loosening from vibration and pressure pulses. Made from high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel and fitted to a specified torque (often with a locking device), it’s a small part whose correct installation and periodic inspection prevent leaks, misfires and costly engine downtime.

The metal tube K 27264 is a precision high-pressure line used on the Sulzer ZV40/48 to carry metered fuel between pump, valves and injectors. Manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances and from corrosion-resistant alloy, the tube resists pressure, vibration and thermal cycles while preserving internal bore smoothness to avoid flow disturbance. Proper support, correct fitting with the matching O-ring (K 27276) and protection from impact or chafing are essential—small dents, kinks or corrosion can cause leaks or pressure loss, so inspect and replace damaged tubes to keep fuel delivery accurate and safe.
