Ingersoll 117-168 Throttle Plunger O-ring

Product Description

The INGERSOLL 117-168 is a throttle plunger O-ring designed as a direct replacement component for Ingersoll Rand pneumatic power tools. This small but critical sealing element maintains air pressure integrity at the throttle plunger assembly, preventing internal leakage that leads to reduced tool power and inconsistent trigger response. When this O-ring degrades or tears, airflow control becomes unreliable, making replacement a necessary step in restoring full tool performance. Installation is a common task performed by tool repair technicians and experienced mechanics during routine pneumatic tool service and rebuild procedures.

This O-ring is used in the throttle plunger valve assembly of Ingersoll Rand pneumatic power tools. It is a factory-matched replacement part suited for shop maintenance environments, service centers, and field repair situations where restoring proper throttle sealing is the objective. Keeping spare sealing components on hand reduces tool downtime during high-volume production or service work.

Key Features

• Direct OEM replacement throttle plunger sealing component
• Restores air pressure integrity at the throttle valve assembly
• Prevents internal air bypass that causes power loss and erratic trigger response
• Designed to factory fit specifications for proper sealing without modification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM replacement throttle plunger O-ring for Ingersoll Rand pneumatic power tools requiring part number 117-168.

Installation Notes

Disconnect the tool from the air supply line and depressurize the system completely before disassembly. Use appropriate O-ring picks and seal drivers to avoid nicking or rolling the replacement O-ring during installation. Apply a light coat of pneumatic tool oil or compatible O-ring lubricant before seating the new seal. Reassemble and test at normal operating pressure before returning the tool to service.
