Product Details
| Part Number | 116979 |
| Product Name | Thermo King 116979 Seat Exhaust Valve |
| Function | Sealing surface for exhaust valve seating and heat transfer within the cylinder head |
| Material | OEM-specified hardened valve-seat steel |
| Compatibility | See Thermo King parts catalog and unit serial for exact application; designed for Thermo King engine valve assemblies |
Efficiency & Sustainability
The Thermo King 116979 Seat Exhaust Valve supports efficient engine combustion sealing, which preserves compression and contributes to fuel-efficient cooling operation for transport refrigeration. Proper valve-seat condition reduces risk of burned valves and emissions-related inefficiencies, supporting compliance efforts such as CARB Evergreen initiatives when installed and maintained per OEM guidance. Smart Reefer SR-4 and Precedent-series operators benefit from precise valve seating that supports consistent temperature control across refrigerated loads.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
Install the seat during cylinder head service using OEM procedures and tooling. Verify seat concentricity and valve-face contact with approved measurement methods. Follow Thermo King service manual torque and clearance specifications and replace associated valve guides or seals as required. Schedule inspections during routine maintenance intervals to preserve engine efficiency and avoid unplanned downtime.
Real-World Applications
The Thermo King 116979 Seat Exhaust Valve finds use in refrigerated trucks and reefer trailers where reliable exhaust valve sealing directly impacts temperature control and engine reliability. Ideal for fleets operating in harsh West Texas conditions, including the Permian Basin, the component supports long-haul transport refrigeration and local distribution operations. 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 performance and uptime assurance for fleet operations.
