The Multiquip 1718205510 Breather Tube is a genuine OEM component designed for the DAW-500S welder, DCA15SPX3, and DCA10SPX3 diesel-powered generators. As a direct OEM replacement, this part is produced to the exact material and dimensional specifications of the original, ensuring a correct fit within the engine ventilation system. Sourced directly through authorized Multiquip distribution, the part is the right choice when you need confidence in fitment and long-term reliability across these machine families.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Tubing Material — Manufactured to the original compound and wall-thickness specification, maintaining proper flexibility and resistance to oil vapor and heat exposure typical of engine crankcase environments.
- Direct Drop-In Installation — Routes and connects exactly as the original, with matching end dimensions that seat correctly at the crankcase and airbox connection points without trimming or adapting.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified for the DAW-500S arc welder and DCA15SPX3 and DCA10SPX3 ultra-silent diesel generator models.
- Maintains Crankcase Pressure Balance — A properly functioning breather tube allows crankcase gases to vent correctly, preventing pressure buildup that can accelerate oil seal wear and lead to leaks.
- Genuine Multiquip OEM Part — Carries Multiquip OEM status, meaning it meets the same standards as the component installed at the factory on DAW-500S and DCA-series equipment.
The breather tube is a critical part of the engine's crankcase ventilation system. Its job is to route blowby gases — combustion gases that pass the piston rings into the crankcase — safely away from the crankcase and back into the air intake or to atmosphere, depending on the engine design. Without a functioning breather tube, pressure builds up inside the crankcase, which forces oil past seals and gaskets and can contaminate the air filter or cause oil consumption issues. A cracked, collapsed, or disconnected breather tube will often present as excessive oil leaks, a fouled air filter, or rough running — replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part restores proper engine breathing and protects downstream components.
