The Wacker Neuson Breather is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 7060 series reversible vibratory plate compactors, including the DPU 7060SC, DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet. As a direct factory replacement, this breather maintains proper internal pressure balance within the machine's gearbox or crankcase, helping protect seals and internal components from pressure-related wear. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number matches the original specification for a straightforward, confidence-inspiring installation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Venting Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original specification, ensuring the correct flow rate and thread fitment for proper crankcase or gearbox pressure relief on heavy-duty reversible plate compactors.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to install in the same location as the original, with matching thread pitch and port dimensions for a clean, tool-straightforward swap.
- Confirmed DPU 7060 Series Fitment — Verified for the DPU 7060SC (Remote Control), DPU 7060Fe, and DPU 7060Fet diesel reversible vibratory plate compactors.
- Protects Internal Components — A functioning breather prevents excessive pressure buildup that can force oil past seals, leading to leaks, contamination, and accelerated wear on gearbox internals.
- Verified Part Number Traceability — OEM part number 5000204658 cross-references directly against Wacker Neuson's parts catalog, so you can order with confidence that this is the correct component for your machine.
A breather is a small but critical venting component fitted to a gearbox, crankcase, or hydraulic reservoir. Its job is to allow air to move in and out as internal temperatures and pressures change during operation, preventing a harmful pressure differential from building up inside the housing. When a breather becomes clogged or fails, excess internal pressure can push past oil seals, causing leaks and allowing contaminants to enter — both of which can lead to significant gearbox or engine damage over time. Replacing a worn or blocked breather on your DPU 7060 series plate compactor is a low-cost step that directly preserves the integrity of more expensive internal components.
