New Clamp Gives Protection To Tire Valve Assembly {4201,4202,4208}
Usage:
773B Trucks
Description of Change: A larger clamp is now used to give more protection to the tire valve assembly on 773B Trucks. The larger clamp will not permit contact between the valve assembly and the rock ejector. The result is longer service life for the valve assembly and no loss of air from the tire.
Formerly, with a smaller clamp, it was some times possible for the valve assembly and the rock ejector to make contact.
Adaptable As: The new 6G6276 Clamp is a direct replacement for the former 6G334 Clamp.
