Description
Overview:
The Muffler/Exhaust Gasket for Stihl HS72 and HS74 is a genuine Stihl sealing component used between the cylinder exhaust port and the muffler. Made from heat-resistant gasket material, it provides a reliable gas-tight seal to prevent exhaust leaks, maintain smooth running, and protect the engine from hot gas blow-by. It is suitable for Stihl handheld machines in this series, including hedge trimmers and compatible models. As a genuine part (MPN: 4227 149 0606), it is cut to the correct profile for the mating faces and withstands high temperatures, vibration, and pressure pulses in normal use. Use this gasket whenever the muffler is removed or replaced to ensure dependable sealing and to help preserve performance, emissions control, and noise levels.
