The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Water Tank Assembly designed for the RD27-100 and RD27-120 series hydrostatic vibratory rollers, including standard and traction control configurations. As a factory-sourced component, this assembly is manufactured to the same specifications as the original part, ensuring correct fit and function across all covered RD27 variants. Sourced directly through authorized Wacker Neuson supply channels, part is the correct replacement when the original water tank shows signs of cracking, leakage, or damage that compromises drum wetting performance.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Molded and assembled to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional standards, ensuring the tank holds volume and pressure consistent with the drum wetting system's design requirements.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Engineered to mount in the same position and connect to the same fittings as the original, so installation follows the standard service procedure without bracket or line modifications.
- Broad RD27 Series Coverage: — Confirmed fitment across multiple RD27-100 and RD27-120 build configurations, including both standard hydrostatic and traction control roller variants.
- Protects Drum Wetting Performance: — A fully intact water tank keeps the roller drums properly wetted during asphalt compaction passes, preventing hot mix from sticking to the drum surface and maintaining a clean, even finish.
- Verified Part Number: — Ordering by Wacker Neuson part number 5000161773 eliminates guesswork and confirms you are receiving the correct assembly for your specific RD27 roller.
The water tank assembly on a tandem roller stores and supplies the water used to continuously wet the compaction drums during asphalt paving and compaction work. Without a consistent water supply, hot asphalt mix will adhere to the drum surface, causing uneven compaction, surface tearing, and poor mat quality. A cracked, leaking, or failed tank starves the drum wetting system, forcing work stoppages and risking damage to the finished surface. Replacing a compromised tank with a genuine OEM assembly restores the system to full operating condition and keeps the roller performing at the level the job demands.
