Retainer — Water Pump Seal
Application: EMD 710-series water pump assemblies
Part of our Water pump product line
The Retainer — Water Pump Seal is identified by EMD Part No. 9529473 and DLW Part No. 16070161. EMD parts references identify 9529473 as the Retainer Water Pump Seal, while Indian Railways vendor documentation identifies DLW Part No. 16070161 with EMD Part No. 9529473 as the Seal Retainer Assembly. The component is part of the EMD 710 water-pump assembly and should be identified using the correct EMD and DLW part numbers when sourcing or replacing the component.
How This Part Works
The Retainer — Water Pump Seal is a retaining component within the EMD water-pump assembly. It is used in conjunction with the water-pump seal arrangement to retain the seal in its specified position. The EMD water-pump parts catalog lists the 9529473 retainer together with the water-pump outer seal, inner seal, and seal-retainer spring as components of the water-pump assembly.
Signs It's Time to Replace
- Visible retainer damage: cracking, deformation, or other physical damage should be assessed during inspection
- Wear at retaining surfaces: abnormal wear at surfaces associated with retaining the water-pump seal should be investigated
- Corrosion or deterioration: visible corrosion or material deterioration can affect the condition of the retainer
- Seal-retention concerns: an improperly seated or inadequately retained water-pump seal requires inspection of the retainer and associated components
- Water-pump leakage: leakage around the seal area should be investigated together with the condition of the seal, retainer, and related water-pump components
Apex focuses on EMD engine components and water-pump system parts for EMD applications. The Retainer — Water Pump Seal is identified by the specific EMD Part No. 9529473 and DLW Part No. 16070161, allowing customers to source the component using established EMD and DLW references. This part-number-based identification helps distinguish the water-pump seal retainer from the associated inner seal, outer seal, and seal-retainer spring within the EMD water-pump assembly.
