Wacker Neuson 5000159318 Spark Arrester

The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Spark Arrester designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson compaction, lighting, and pump equipment, including the RD16-90 and RD16-100 tandem rollers, RT56 and RT82 series vibratory trench rollers, RTLx and RTx trench roller families, LTN6L and LTN6LE light towers, DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors, and PT6 series trash pumps. As a genuine Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component — ensuring a direct, bolt-in fit with no guesswork.

Confirm your model number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific machine configuration.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Exhaust Screening: — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to original design tolerances, delivering the same mesh density and heat resistance as the factory-installed arrester.
• Direct Bolt-In Replacement: — Matches the original exhaust outlet dimensions and mounting interface for a straightforward swap on all listed models without adapter hardware.
• Broad Fitment Coverage: — Compatible with RD16 tandem rollers, RT56 / RT82 / RTLx / RTx vibratory trench rollers, LTN6L / LTN6LE light towers, DPU80 / DPU90 / DPU110 reversible plate compactors, and PT6 trash pumps — one part number across multiple machine families.
• Fire Hazard Mitigation: — Traps and cools exhaust sparks before they exit the muffler, a critical function when operating near dry vegetation, fuel storage, or confined trench environments where ignition risk is elevated.
• Regulatory and Site Compliance: — Many worksites, forestry zones, and public-land job sites mandate certified spark arresters on internal-combustion equipment. Running a worn or damaged arrester can result in site shutdowns or liability exposure.
• Long-Term Corrosion Resistance: — Built to withstand the sustained heat cycles and condensation typical of diesel and gasoline engines in outdoor, all-weather operation.

A spark arrester is a screen or baffle device mounted in the exhaust path — typically at or near the muffler outlet — that captures hot carbon particles and sparks before they can exit into the surrounding environment. On equipment like light towers, trench rollers, plate compactors, and trash pumps that frequently operate in open fields, dry trenches, or near fuel lines, an intact spark arrester is the last line of defense against exhaust-ignited fires. When the arrester screen becomes clogged with carbon buildup, it restricts exhaust flow and causes the engine to run hot and lose power; when it corrodes through or cracks, it loses its fire-containment function entirely. Replacing a worn or damaged arrester with a correct OEM unit like the Wacker Neuson 5000159318 restores both engine breathing performance and safe exhaust management.
