Key Features
- Genuine OEM Heat Shield Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original material and fitment specification for the GX120/160 muffler protector, ensuring consistent thermal protection around the exhaust outlet.
- Direct-Mount Replacement — Engineered to bolt directly onto the muffler assembly of Honda GX120 and GX160 engines, matching the original mounting points exactly.
- Confirmed Fitment for MVC82V Series — Verified for the MVC82VH and MVC82VHW single-directional plate compactors, covering both standard and water-tank-equipped configurations.
- Protects Operators from Exhaust Heat — The muffler protector shields personnel from accidental contact with the hot exhaust during operation, an important safety consideration on compact, walk-behind equipment.
- Burn and Contact Hazard Reduction — A missing or damaged muffler protector exposes the hot exhaust to inadvertent contact; replacing it promptly restores the machine's intended operator protection.
The muffler protector is a heat shield mounted over the exhaust muffler on Honda GX120 and GX160 engines. Its primary role is to guard operators and bystanders from accidental burns caused by contact with the muffler during or after operation, when surface temperatures can reach levels capable of causing serious injury. Over time, the protector can crack, warp, or become dislodged due to vibration and thermal cycling — both of which are significant on compaction equipment — making periodic inspection and timely replacement an important part of routine maintenance.
