811.867 Elring Gasket, water pump

A Water Pump Gasket from Elring (MPN: 811.867), made in Germany, measures 12.0 x 116.0 x 100.0 mm. It serves as a seal between the water pump and its housing, maintaining the cooling system's integrity. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions. Sealings and gaskets establish static, leak-proof joints between stationary vehicle components. These parts are critical in engine, transmission, and chassis systems – commonly found in valve covers, oil pans, intake manifolds, and axle housings. Materials range from compressed fiber, rubber, cork, silicone, and multi-layer steel (MLS) depending on temperature, pressure, and fluid resistance requirements. Precision dimensional control and surface finish are essential for effective sealing, preventing loss of fluids or gases. Many gaskets utilize coatings or embedded beads to enhance sealing performance and prevent sticking. Proper torque specifications during installation are paramount to maintain joint integrity and prevent failures.
