Wacker Neuson 5100010160 Breather Tube

The Wacker Neuson 5100010160 is a genuine OEM Breather Tube designed for the DPU80, DPU90, and DPU110 series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this part is sourced through Wacker Neuson's authorized supply chain, ensuring the component matches the original specification installed at the time of manufacture. Fitment covers an extensive range of DPU models including standard, reversible (r), Lec, Lem, and Lekc variants across the DPU80, DPU90, and DPU110 families, as well as the DPU 80/110 KMAT configuration. When the original Breather Tube shows wear or damage, replacing it promptly with part number 5100010160 helps maintain proper crankcase ventilation and protects the engine from pressure-related damage.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional specification, ensuring the tube maintains correct flow characteristics and a secure, leak-free connection within the crankcase ventilation circuit.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — Replaces the original Breather Tube using the existing mounting points and fittings; no rerouting or adaptation of adjacent hoses or brackets needed.
• Broad DPU Series Coverage — Compatible with DPU80, DPU90, and DPU110 models including standard, reversible, Lec, Lem, and Lekc configurations, plus the DPU 80/110 KMAT platform.
• Crankcase Pressure Management — A correctly functioning Breather Tube allows combustion blow-by gases to vent safely, preventing internal pressure buildup that can cause oil leaks, seal failure, or accelerated engine wear on high-cycle compaction equipment.
• Verified Part Number — Order with confidence using Wacker Neuson part number 5100010160; cross-reference your model number before purchase to confirm applicability across the DPU80–DPU110 range.

The Breather Tube is part of the engine's crankcase ventilation system, providing a controlled path for pressure and blow-by gases to escape the crankcase during normal operation. Without a properly sealed and unobstructed breather tube, internal pressure can build to levels that force oil past gaskets and seals, leading to oil consumption, external leaks, and potential engine damage. On reversible plate compactors like the DPU series — machines that run under continuous load during compaction passes — maintaining an effective crankcase ventilation path is essential to engine longevity and consistent output across the workday.
