Sourced directly from Multiquip, this part meets the exact specifications of the original equipment, ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation.

Key Features
- Genuine OEM Heat Shield Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original material and dimensional spec, providing the same thermal barrier performance as the part that came off the machine.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Engineered to mount in the same position and use the same hardware points as the factory muffler protector, so installation is straightforward with standard hand tools.
- Broad GA6H and GAW180HE Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across GA6HB, GA6HEB, GA6HR, GA6HRS, GA6HRSNC2, GAC6HR, GAC6HRS, GAW180HE, GAW180HEA, and GAW180HE1 units.
- Sustained Heat Dissipation — A properly functioning muffler protector shields surrounding components and personnel from exhaust heat during extended run cycles; a cracked or missing protector leaves adjacent parts and operators exposed.
- Burn Hazard Prevention — The protector serves as a critical barrier between the hot muffler surface and accidental contact by operators or bystanders — replacing a damaged unit promptly is an important safety practice on any active worksite.
The muffler protector is a heat shield that wraps or covers the exhaust muffler on gasoline-powered generators and arc welders. Its primary role is to contain radiated heat close to the exhaust system, protecting nearby fuel lines, wiring, and structural components from thermal damage during operation. When the protector is cracked, missing, or severely corroded, surface temperatures on adjacent parts can rise beyond safe thresholds, increasing the risk of material degradation and contact burns to anyone working near the machine.
