The Bomag 57180311 Suction Pipe is a genuine OEM component designed for BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 1172 RB, and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this suction pipe delivers an exact match to the original component it replaces, ensuring the hydraulic or fluid system performs exactly as engineered. Verified fitment across the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB refuse compactor families means you can order with confidence and get your machine back to work without guesswork.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fluid Pathway Integrity — manufactured to Bomag's original specifications, maintaining correct flow characteristics and connection geometry for the suction circuit
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — engineered to match the original routing, diameter, and end connections of the suction pipe it replaces, fitting without modification
- Confirmed Compactor Fitment — compatible with BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 1172 RB, and BC 1172 RB-2 refuse and landfill compactors
- Protects System Prime and Flow — a properly sealed suction pipe prevents air ingestion into the hydraulic or fluid circuit, keeping pump performance consistent under the heavy demands of landfill compaction cycles
- Correct Part Number Verified — part number 57180311 is the Bomag-assigned reference for this component, eliminating the risk of ordering a mismatched pipe from an incomplete parts lookup
The suction pipe draws fluid from the reservoir into the pump at the start of the hydraulic circuit. Because it operates on the low-pressure inlet side, any crack, loose fitting, or deterioration in the pipe wall allows air to be pulled into the system — a condition that causes pump cavitation, erratic actuator response, and accelerated internal wear. On heavy-duty refuse and landfill compactors like the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB series, where the hydraulic system is under continuous load across rough terrain, a sound suction pipe is essential to keeping the pump primed and the entire drive and compaction circuit functioning as designed.
