It is installed between the engine block and the oil pan. It prevents lubricating oil from leaking out and dust or contaminants from entering the lower part of the engine.

Seal the component joint to prevent oil or engine fluids from leaking. Cummins primarily uses it for 11-liter M11 engines, but it is also installed in L10, ISM, and QSM engines.
To confirm the exact application, you should check the motor’s ESN/CPL, as it may vary depending on the configuration.
