Frequently Asked Questions
Check your model’s illustrated parts list. If 166073 (or 166-073) appears for the pump/valve location you’re servicing, it’s the correct seal. If it doesn’t appear, do not substitute—contact support with your model and serial for confirmation.
Aftermarket options exist, but sealing performance varies by material and tolerance. For high-pressure applications and consistent results, use the OEM part specified in your manual.
Persistent fluid leaks, difficulty holding pressure, excessive pulsation, or inconsistent spray pattern usually point to worn or damaged packings/O-rings in the fluid section.
