The Multiquip 00173 Foam Rubber Rw-1402 is a genuine OEM component designed for the GAW135H gasoline arc welder. As an authentic Multiquip part, 00173 is manufactured to the exact material grade and dimensional specification of the original, ensuring a direct, trouble-free installation without guesswork. This part is confirmed to fit the GAW135H series, making it a straightforward replacement for service technicians and operators keeping their welder/generator in top condition.
Key Features
- OEM Material Integrity — Genuine Multiquip rubber compound matches the original compression rating and density, ensuring the seal or cushion performs exactly as designed from day one.
- Exact-Profile Fit — Dimensioned to the original Rw-1402 specification, this foam rubber seats correctly in its channel or mounting location without trimming or shimming.
- Confirmed GAW135H Fitment — Verified for the Multiquip GAW135H gasoline arc welder, so you can order with confidence knowing 00173 is the right part for your machine.
- Vibration and Acoustic Damping — A correctly fitted foam rubber component absorbs operational vibration and reduces noise transmission between panels or components, protecting adjacent parts from wear.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing — Sold as an authentic Multiquip replacement, part 00173 carries the same quality assurance as the part that left the factory, with no substitutions in material or profile.
Foam rubber components in a welder/generator serve as seals, vibration isolators, or cushioning inserts between panels, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies. They prevent metal-to-metal contact, dampen engine vibration that would otherwise fatigue surrounding components, and in many locations act as a barrier against dust and moisture ingress into sensitive areas of the unit. When foam rubber deteriorates — crumbling, compressing permanently, or tearing — it loses its sealing and damping properties, which can lead to increased vibration, accelerated wear on adjacent parts, and reduced protection of internal components. Replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part restores the machine to its intended operating condition.
