Description

Volvo Penta 20844430 is a genuine OEM lock brace used in Volvo Penta engine cooling-system applications. Volvo Penta’s official parts shop identifies part 20844430 simply as “lock brace,” and current catalog references place it in D9A2A cooling system use. Additional OEM parts listings also connect it to coolant pump and thermostat housing assemblies, which helps narrow its role to a specific cooling-system mounting or retention point rather than a general-purpose bracket.

Engine Compatibility
Current source coverage ties Volvo Penta 20844430 to D9A2A cooling-system use, with additional diagram references linking it to coolant pump and thermostat housing assemblies. Fitment should be treated as engine- and assembly-specific, since cooling-system hardware can vary by engine family, housing design, and production break.

Serial Number Fitment Notice
Always confirm 20844430 against the exact engine serial number and the correct Volvo Penta parts diagram before ordering. Volvo Penta directs customers to identify the exact engine, shield, or drive when locating the correct spare parts.

When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this lock brace when the original part is bent, cracked, corroded, loose, damaged during service, or no longer secures the related cooling-system component as intended. It is also a sensible replacement anytime the surrounding coolant pump or thermostat housing assembly is apart and the original brace shows wear or damage.

Installation Notes
Install only in the correct matched Volvo Penta application. Inspect the related mounting point, housing, and fasteners before reassembly, and follow the correct Volvo Penta service information for the serial-numbered engine. Volvo Penta’s support portal provides model-specific manuals and service resources.

Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current references reviewed list this part under active Volvo Penta number 20844430 and also associate it with earlier number 21724416. Supersession should still be verified against the exact serial-numbered application before ordering.

Parts Desk Insight
Small braces and retainers in Volvo Penta cooling-system assemblies are easy to overlook, but they help keep housings and related components properly secured. Replacing a damaged brace during cooling-system service can help avoid vibration, misalignment, and repeat teardown later on.
