HP Seal Head & Check Valve Repair Kit, Inlet & Outlet, .875 Plunger, 60K | HJ-72185957
The HP Check Valve Repair Kit, Inlet & Outlet, .875 Plunger, 60K | HJ-72185957 is a premium, quality repair kit engineered to restore the performance and reliability of 60,000 PSI (4,100 bar) KMT waterjet intensifier pumps equipped with .875-inch plungers. Designed for late-model Neoline intensifier pumps with a poppet-style inlet, this complete service kit rebuilds both the inlet and outlet high-pressure check valve assemblies, helping maintain maximum operating pressure, sealing efficiency, and cutting performance.
Manufactured to meet and exceed equipment specifications, this HJ-72185957 Check Valve Repair Kit helps eliminate pressure loss, reduce internal leakage, prevent premature component wear, and restore consistent water flow throughout the intensifier. Routine replacement of check valve components is essential for maintaining optimum pump efficiency, extending service intervals, and minimizing costly production downtime.
Every component is precision-machined using premium materials to withstand the extreme operating conditions found in industrial waterjet systems. Properly functioning check valves ensure one-way water flow, stabilize pressure generation, and improve overall intensifier reliability during continuous production.

Frequently Asked Questions | HJ-72185957
1. What is HJ-72185957?
HJ-72185957 is a HJ Waterjet direct replacement for KMT 72185957 HP Check-Valve Repair Kit used in the sealing head of certain KMT 60K waterjet intensifier pumps with a .875" plunger. It is as a repair kit for both the inlet and outlet check valves.
2. What KMT pumps does HJ-72185957 fit?
It is used with KMT 60,000 PSI systems using a .875" plunger, including applications associated with the SL-V and SL-VI pump families.
3. Is HJ-72185957 the same as HJ-20489495?
Essentially, yes, with an important difference. The HJ-72185957 is the same as HJ-20489495 except that HJ-72185957 does not include the ADH threadlocker.
4. What is the difference between HJ-72185957 and HJ-05133335?
This is a common source of confusion.
- HJ-72185957 — Inlet and Outlet Check-Valve Repair Kit
- HJ-05133335 — Outlet Check-Valve Repair Kit
Both for 60K, .875" plunger applications.
5. What are the symptoms that HJ-72185957 needs replacement?
Typical symptoms of worn or damaged check-valve components can include:
- Loss of pump pressure
- Pressure fluctuations
- Reduced cutting performance
- Water leakage around the sealing head
- Difficulty maintaining operating pressure
- Abnormal pump cycling
- Premature wear of related sealing-head components
These symptoms can have multiple causes, so they should not automatically be attributed to the check-valve kit.
6. Can I replace individual components instead of the whole HJ-72185957 kit?
Yes. The individual components in the kit have their own part numbers—for example, HJ-05116561, HJ-05112768, HJ-05116751, HJ-05147863, HJ-20453619, and HJ-20474395.
However, if multiple check-valve components are worn, replacing the complete kit is generally the more straightforward repair.
7. Is HJ-72185957 a Sealing-Head Repair Kit or a Check-Valve Repair Kit?
Both descriptions are used. KMT''''''''s current listing calls it a “Kit, HP Check Valve Repair, Inlet-Outlet, .875 Plunger, 60K,” while other KMT parts catalogs and distributors identify it as an SL-IV/SL-V Sealing-Head Repair Kit.
8. What is the cross-reference for HJ-72185957?
The most important cross-reference is:
KMT 72185957 ↔ KMT 20489495
9. How many HJ-72185957 kits are needed for a pump?
This depends on the specific pump configuration. For example, maintenance kits for certain SL-V/SL-VI 50 HP systems list two HJ-72185957 Sealing-Head Repair Kits, indicating one kit per applicable sealing head/plunger position.
10. What should I verify before ordering HJ-72185957?
Verify:
- KMT pump model
- 60K PSI rating
- .875" plunger
- Whether the sealing head uses the single-inlet configuration
- Existing part number on the pump
- Whether you need the complete inlet/outlet kit or only the outlet repair kit
This prevents accidentally substituting HJ-05133335, HJ-72169725, HJ-20489495, or another similar-looking KMT-style repair kit.
