Official OEM Thermo King parts catalog entry for the Thermo King Rod-Throt-Link 117818, verified by PEAK Thermo King and West Texas Thermo King Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, serving all of the USA.
Built for Performance: The Thermo King Rod-Throt-Link 117818 delivers OEM-grade throttle linkage reliability for Thermo King refrigeration systems, ensuring precise engine speed control and consistent temperature regulation in transport refrigeration and reefer trailer operations.
Designed for fleets that demand uptime across Amarillo, Lubbock, Odessa and the Permian Basin, this Rod-Throt-Link supports accurate throttle actuation on Thermo King engine-driven and Diesel Direct Electric units, helping maintain temperature control and fuel-efficient cooling under heavy duty use.
- OEM-Grade Linkage – Provides exact fit and secure connection to Thermo King throttle assemblies, reducing play and enhancing response.
- Precision Actuation – Ensures consistent throttle positioning for stable idle and load changes, supporting tighter temperature control in reefer trailer service.
- Durable Construction – Built from robust, corrosion-resistant components that withstand road vibration and weather exposure for extended service life.
- Serviceability – Simplifies replacement during scheduled maintenance intervals to minimize downtime and support fast turnarounds at authorized service centers.
- Fleet Uptime Focus – Supports reliable engine performance across Thermo King transport refrigeration applications, contributing to predictable operating costs and return on investment.
Product Details
| Part Number | 117818 |
| Product Name | Rod-Throt-Link 117818 |
| Function | Throttle linkage rod for engine/throttle actuation in Thermo King refrigeration systems |
| Compatibility | Thermo King transport refrigeration and reefer applications (engine throttle linkage) |
| Manufacturer | Thermo King (OEM) |
Efficiency & Sustainability – Proper throttle linkage supports consistent engine operation and fuel-efficient cooling across Thermo King units such as Diesel Direct Electric and Smart Reefer SR-4 enabled systems. Reliable mechanical actuation contributes to lower fuel burn and stable temperature control, supporting compliance goals like CARB Evergreen where applicable and helping fleets reduce environmental impact through efficient operation.
Installation & Maintenance Tips – Use OEM fasteners and secure rod ends to recommended torque values. Inspect linkage for wear, corrosion, and end-play during scheduled service intervals. Replace any worn joints immediately to maintain precise throttle control and avoid secondary wear on connected components. Service at authorized Thermo King dealerships for torque verification and adjustment.
Real-World Applications – The Rod-Throt-Link 117818 installs on refrigerated trucks, reefer trailers, and transport refrigeration units where accurate throttle actuation supports temperature control under variable loads. It performs within mixed-fleet operations, regional hauls, and long-distance refrigerated logistics across West Texas and the Southwest. Available for installation and service in Amarillo, Lubbock, Odessa, and throughout West Texas.
Backed by Thermo King’s engineering and supported by certified technicians at West Texas Thermo King, this component delivers lasting reliability and uptime assurance for fleet operations.
