The Wacker Neuson Upper Radiator Hose is a genuine OEM component designed for the LTW6K and LTW8K light tower series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this hose meets the exact dimensional and material specifications of the original part, ensuring a correct fit within the engine cooling system. It is compatible across a wide range of LTW6K and LTW8K configurations, including Standard T4, Custom T4, Cold Weather T4, and V-series variants. Whether you're servicing a standard unit or a cold-weather-spec tower, part number is the verified OEM replacement.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Coolant Compatibility — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material spec, this hose resists swelling, cracking, and degradation from engine coolant and operating heat cycles.
- Direct Hose-End Fitment — Engineered to match the original upper radiator port dimensions, this hose seats and clamps exactly as the factory-installed part, with no trimming or adapting needed.
- Broad LTW Series Coverage — Fits LTW6K, LTW8K, LTW6K-V, LTW8K-V, LTW6K-V S, and LTW8K-V S light towers across Standard, Custom, Cold Weather, and PAS configurations.
- Sustained Cooling System Integrity — A properly seated upper radiator hose maintains consistent coolant flow between the engine and radiator, preventing overheating during extended generator runtime on the jobsite.
- Verified OEM Part Number — Ordering by part number 5000178059 confirms you're receiving the correct hose for your specific LTW6K or LTW8K machine configuration, eliminating guesswork during service.
The upper radiator hose carries hot coolant from the engine's thermostat housing to the top of the radiator, where heat is expelled before the coolant returns to the engine. On a light tower running a diesel generator for extended periods, this hose is under constant thermal and pressure cycling. A hose that has softened, cracked, or begun to collapse at the ends will allow coolant to leak or restrict flow, which can cause the engine to overheat and shut down — cutting off lighting to the worksite. Replacing a worn hose promptly with the correct OEM part keeps the cooling circuit sealed and operating within its designed pressure range.
