The Bomag 05554243 Hose is a genuine OEM hose designed for BC 972 RB, BC 1172 RB, BC 972 RB-2, and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this hose is manufactured to the exact dimensions, pressure ratings, and material specifications required for the application. It installs directly in place of the original, with no adaptation needed to achieve a proper, leak-free connection. Confirmed fitment covers the full BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB compactor lineup, including both the standard and second-generation RB-2 variants.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured by Bomag to the same material grade, wall thickness, and pressure tolerance as the original hose, ensuring correct fluid transfer without degradation or seepage
- Direct OEM Replacement — matches the original routing, end fittings, and hose length so it seats correctly in the hydraulic or fluid circuit without rework or modification
- Confirmed Compactor Fitment — verified for BC 972 RB, BC 1172 RB, BC 972 RB-2, and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors, covering both the standard and RB-2 generation variants
- Leak-Free Fluid Delivery — a correctly seated hose maintains consistent pressure and flow in the circuit; a cracked, swollen, or failed hose causes fluid loss, pressure drop, and potential damage to downstream components
- Long-Term Durability — OEM-grade materials resist the heat cycling, abrasion, and fluid exposure typical of heavy-duty refuse compactor operation, supporting a longer service interval between replacements
A hydraulic or fluid hose serves as the pressurized conduit that moves fluid between components — such as a pump, valve, or actuator — within the machine's hydraulic or cooling circuit. On large refuse and landfill compactors like the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB series, hoses carry high-pressure fluid that powers the compaction drum, steering, and other critical systems. When a hose deteriorates, develops cracks, or fails at a fitting, fluid loss disrupts circuit pressure and can quickly lead to overheating, loss of function, or damage to connected components — making timely replacement with a correct OEM hose essential to keeping the machine running safely and efficiently.
