The Wacker Neuson Spark Arrester is a genuine OEM component designed for a broad range of Wacker Neuson equipment, including PT2 centrifugal trash pumps, PDT2 and PDT3 diaphragm trash pumps, PG2 and PG3 dewatering pumps, VP and WP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, and BFS series floor saws. As a direct OEM replacement, part number is manufactured to the exact configuration of the original part, ensuring a drop-in fit with no guesswork. This spark arrester is verified compatible across an extensive list of VP1340, VP1550, VP2050, WP1540, WP1550, WP2050, and WPP series vibratory plates, as well as PDI2, PDI3, and select pump models.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Exhaust Filtration: — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to the exact mesh specification and housing dimensions of the original arrester, ensuring correct exhaust particle retention without restricting engine breathing.
- Direct-Fit Installation: — Designed to thread or seat into the exhaust outlet exactly as the factory unit does, making swap-out straightforward on all listed VP, WP, WPP, PT, PDT, PDI, PG, and BFS models.
- Wide Cross-Family Compatibility: — A single part number covers centrifugal trash pumps, diaphragm pumps, dewatering pumps, single-direction vibratory plate compactors, and floor saws — reducing the number of spare parts you need to stock.
- Protects Engine Longevity: — A functioning spark arrester traps hot carbon particles before they exit the exhaust, preventing premature combustion chamber fouling and protecting internal engine components from carbon buildup over time.
- Fire Hazard Mitigation: — Required on many jobsites where equipment is operated near dry vegetation, combustible materials, or in jurisdictions with open-flame regulations — using the correct OEM arrester keeps your equipment compliant and your crew protected.
A spark arrester is a screen or baffle device fitted to the exhaust outlet of a gasoline-powered engine. Its job is to trap and cool burning carbon particles — often called sparks — before they can exit the exhaust stream and ignite surrounding dry material such as grass, sawdust, or other combustibles. On equipment like vibratory plate compactors and pumps that are frequently used in outdoor, ground-level environments, a correctly functioning spark arrester is a critical safety component. When the arrester becomes clogged with carbon deposits, back-pressure builds in the exhaust system and the engine loses power and runs rough; when the screen is damaged or missing entirely, hot particles are free to escape and create a fire risk.
