Yamada 685414 V-Packing for NDP-20 to NDP-32
The Yamada 685414 is a factory v-packing used in NDP-20, NDP-25 and NDP-32 Series pumps. It seals against a moving surface rather than a static joint, which is why it wears out on a schedule while the static seals around it can last for years.
Worn packing shows itself as air blowing where it should not - out of the center block, into the wet side, or simply as a pump that will not complete a stroke because the air is escaping faster than the valve can supply it. Air consumption climbs and the pump feels sluggish long before anything actually stops working.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should the throat bearing be changed at the same time?
Inspect it. A worn bearing lets the shaft move off center and loads one side of the packing, so replacing the seal without checking the bearing usually means doing the job twice.
Q: Does a seal ring do the same job?
A seal ring seals the air valve spool rather than the center rod, but the principle is the same - a dynamic seal on a sliding surface, and one of the first parts to replace when the air motor misbehaves.
Q: How do I know the packing is worn?
Air consumption rises, the pump cycles more slowly for the same air pressure, and there is often audible air escaping around the center block. Visually, the sealing lip will be rounded or glazed rather than sharp.
Q: Which way round does it go?
The open side of the V faces the pressure, so that air pressure pushes the lip harder against the shaft. Note the orientation of the old one as it comes out.
