Installation & Maintenance Notes

Before installing the 15J038 seat, relieve system pressure and remove the old seat carefully. Clean the seating area thoroughly, inspect the mating parts for wear or damage, and press in or install the new seat in correct orientation. Avoid exposing the carbide surface to impact or excessive torque, as this may cause chipping. Inspect periodically and replace when seating wear or performance issues are detected.

Frequently Asked Questions

A carbide seat is much harder and more abrasion-resistant than standard steel, which means it wears out slower and keeps a better seal over time.

Yes, with proper tools and ensuring the system is depressurized, you can install the seat. Make sure the seating surface and surrounding components are clean and undamaged.

Replace the seat when you observe signs like fluid leakage, reduced performance, or visible wear/chipping on the carbide surface.

While generic options may fit, the genuine OEM seat guarantees correct dimensions, material grade, and performance consistency—reducing risk of premature failure.
