The Multiquip 0173 is a genuine OEM 3/8 In. 90 Degree Conduit Fitting designed for a range of Multiquip plate compactors, rammers, and walk-behind trowels. As a direct OEM replacement, this fitting is sourced to the same specification as the original hardware, ensuring a correct and trouble-free installation. Confirmed fitment includes the MVH408DZ and MVH308DZ reversible plate compactors, MT85 and MT60H2 rammers, and the J36E2 walk-behind power trowel. Keep part number 0173 on hand as a service staple across your Multiquip fleet.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to the exact material grade and thread specification of the original conduit fitting, ensuring a proper seal and secure conduit routing every time.
- 90-Degree Routing in Tight Spaces — The right-angle profile allows conduit runs to change direction cleanly where straight fittings simply will not fit within the machine's frame or housing.
- 3/8 In. Thread Sizing — Matches the threaded ports found on the original equipment harness and conduit runs, threading directly into place without adapters or modifications to the mounting point.
- Broad Cross-Fleet Fitment — A single part number covering the MVH408DZ, MVH308DZ, MT85, MT60H2, and J36E2 makes this a practical stocking item for mixed Multiquip fleets.
- Conduit Integrity Protects Electrical Circuits — A failed or missing conduit fitting exposes wiring to vibration, abrasion, and contamination; replacing a damaged fitting promptly prevents electrical faults that can sideline the machine.
A conduit fitting routes and anchors the protective conduit that shields electrical wiring as it runs through or along the machine's frame. The 90-degree angle allows wiring to make a clean directional change without stressing the conductors or the conduit itself. When a fitting cracks, strips, or goes missing, the conduit loses its anchor point, leaving the wiring inside vulnerable to chafing against metal edges and the constant vibration that compaction and tamping equipment produces — which can lead to shorts, failed sensors, or a machine that simply will not start.
