The Wacker Neuson Breather Cover Gasket is a genuine OEM component designed for WP1550RW, WP1550R, and VPR1330 vibratory plate compactors, as well as PT2R centrifugal trash pumps. As a factory-sourced part, it is manufactured to the exact material and dimensional specifications of the original, ensuring a correct seal at the breather cover interface. This gasket is a direct OEM replacement, giving equipment owners and service technicians confidence that the part will perform exactly as the original did from day one. Keep a spare on hand — breather cover gaskets are a routine service item and having the correct part available keeps equipment serviced on schedule.
Key Features
- OEM Material Specification — Manufactured to the original gasket compound and thickness spec, delivering the correct compression and sealing performance at the breather cover.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original bolt pattern and profile of the breather cover, seating without trimming or modification.
- Broad Model Coverage — Fits WP1550RW and WP1550R vibratory plate compactors, the VPR1330 vibratory plate, and PT2R centrifugal trash pumps.
- Crankcase Integrity — A properly sealed breather cover prevents oil mist escape and contaminant ingestion, protecting internal engine components from accelerated wear.
- Fuel and Oil System Safety — A failed or compressed breather gasket can allow oil vapor to migrate into unintended areas; replacing it at the correct service interval maintains safe, clean engine operation.
The breather cover gasket seals the joint between the engine's breather cover and the crankcase, allowing controlled crankcase pressure venting while preventing oil from escaping and external contaminants from entering the engine. When this gasket deteriorates or is compressed beyond its service life, it can cause oil leaks around the breather cover and allow unfiltered air or debris to enter the engine, leading to increased internal wear. Replacing it with the correct OEM gasket restores the original seal and keeps the engine's crankcase ventilation system functioning as designed.
