Milwaukee Gasket
Model Number: 43-44-0026
The Milwaukee 43-44-0026 is a genuine OEM Gasket for the 49-16-2719 M18 FUEL QUIK-LOK Articulating Hedge Trimmer Attachment. The gasket is a static seal that fits between two mating surfaces on the attachment head, filling the joint so grease stays in and dust and debris stay out of the drive and gearing. On an outdoor attachment like the hedge trimmer, that seal keeps the gear lubrication where it belongs and protects the internals from the clippings and grit of trimming work. Because the gasket is compressed between surfaces and ages with heat and use, it can flatten, tear, or harden over time, at which point the joint can weep grease or let contaminants in. Replacing it with the genuine Milwaukee OEM gasket restores the sealed joint with the correct material and profile, where an off-spec gasket may not seal the surface or fit the attachment correctly. Replace the gasket whenever the attachment head is opened for service.
This gasket is identified as the Gasket, Figure 33, on the Milwaukee service parts list for the 49-16-2719 Hedge Trimmer Attachment, serial K52A, covered in the M18 FUEL QUIK-LOK Power Head service manual, bulletin 54-49-2810. Note that the same attachment also uses a separate Gear Case Gasket (43-44-0048, Figure 32), so match the figure number on the diagram to be sure which gasket you need. It works with the surrounding head parts, the gearbox assembly (14-29-0016), the oil cap assembly (42-52-3001), and the oil cap o-ring (34-40-9002), which are separate items. Because Milwaukee specifies service parts by serial number as well as catalog number, verify your catalog and serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number.
