  • Temperature Rating: 180°F

  • Application: General NT855 cooling system use

185°F Thermostat for Big Cam Engines

Optimized for Big Cam engines, this thermostat opens at 185°F, making it suitable for engines running in colder ambient environments or requiring tighter temperature control.

  • Compatibility: NT855 Big Cam I–IV

  • Use Case: Marine, power generation, or standby applications

173°F Thermostat

A low-temp thermostat that opens at 173°F. Ideal for operations in warmer climates or with engines under constant heavy loads.

  • Temperature Rating: 173°F

  • Use Case: High-temperature environments, extended duty cycles


Gaskets and Seals for Cummins NT855 Water Pumps

Gasket – Water Inlet Connection

This gasket ensures a tight seal between the pump housing and the water inlet, reducing the risk of coolant leaks and maintaining system pressure.

  • Type: Flat-style inlet gasket

  • Placement: Water pump inlet flange

Gasket – Water Pump Mounting

Designed for the mounting flange, this gasket maintains a secure connection between the pump and the engine block.

  • Ensures vibration isolation

  • Prevents coolant seepage during long-term operation

O-Ring Seal – Outlet Connection

This O-ring provides sealing at the outlet side of the pump and is critical for preventing leaks in high-pressure cooling systems.

  • Placement: Outlet connection on coolant pump

  • Resistant to high temperatures and chemical breakdown


Cummins NT855 Fan Belts

Multi-Groove Fan Belt

An 8-rib serpentine fan belt, measuring 59” long by 1.125” wide, designed for NT855 engines equipped with high-output alternators and water pumps. This belt supports multiple accessory drives, reducing slippage and improving energy transfer.

  • Belt Type: Ribbed, multi-groove (serpentine)

  • Applications: Engines with multiple belt-driven components

Why Proper Freshwater Cooling Matters for the Cummins NT855

The NT855 is a heavy-duty workhorse engine, often deployed in marine propulsion, auxiliary power, and industrial operations. It generates substantial heat during operation, making freshwater cooling essential for:

  • Preventing thermal expansion damage

  • Maintaining combustion efficiency

  • Extending engine oil life

  • Avoiding piston scoring or cylinder head warping

A worn-out water pump, leaking gasket, or collapsed hose can quickly escalate to serious engine failure. That's why all components in this catalog are selected for their OEM-grade durability, precise fit, and long service life.


When Should You Replace a Fresh Water Pump?

Signs your NT855 water pump or cooling components may need replacement:

  • Engine running hotter than usual

  • Coolant leaking from the pump housing

  • Noisy or seized pulley bearings

  • Steam from exhaust or coolant overflow

  • Reduced coolant circulation

  • Thermostat not opening at correct temperature

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend replacing the pump and related gaskets, hoses, and clamps as a system to prevent repeat failures.
