Wacker Neuson 5000179787 Exhaust Sock Insulator 1.7 Ft

The Wacker Neuson Exhaust Sock Insulator 1.7 Ft is a genuine OEM component designed for the G240 Mobile Generator series, including standard, cold weather, and custom configurations. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same OEM specification as the component it replaces, ensuring correct fitment across the full G240 range. Compatible models include the G240 Mobile Generator, G240 Mobile Generator Cold Weather, and G240 Generator Skid Custom Deere T3 variants.

Key Features

• OEM-Grade Heat Resistance — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original thermal tolerance spec, ensuring the insulator material withstands sustained exhaust temperatures without degrading or compressing out of shape.
• Direct Sleeve Replacement — Sized at 1.7 ft to match the original exhaust outlet geometry on G240 generators, fitting over the exhaust run without trimming or adaptation.
• Broad G240 Series Coverage — Fits multiple G240 Mobile Generator configurations, including standard, cold weather, and custom Deere T3 skid variants across several production codes.
• Maintains Safe Surface Temperatures — A correctly fitted exhaust sock insulator keeps outer surface temperatures within safe limits, protecting nearby components, wiring, and personnel from contact burns in enclosed or trailer-mounted installations.
• Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Supplied as a genuine OEM replacement, part number 5000179787, so you can be confident the material grade and dimensions match what left the factory.

An exhaust sock insulator wraps around the exhaust pipe or muffler outlet to contain radiant heat generated during engine operation. On a mobile generator like the G240, this is particularly important because the unit is often housed in a close-coupled enclosure or trailer where exhaust heat can accumulate and damage surrounding wiring, fuel lines, or structural panels. When the insulator deteriorates — cracking, compressing, or burning through — surface temperatures on the exhaust run rise sharply, increasing the risk of heat damage and creating a potential burn hazard for operators working near the unit. Replacing a worn insulator promptly restores the thermal barrier and keeps the generator operating safely within its designed heat management envelope.
