The Wacker Neuson Inlet Bend is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 100-70Le reversible vibratory plate compactor series. As a direct OEM replacement, this part is produced to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation with no guesswork on fitment. Verified compatibility covers the DPU 100-70Le VIBROPLATE and DPU100-70Le Reversible Vibratory Plate machines. When your inlet bend wears, cracks, or fails, replacing it promptly with part number keeps your airflow or fluid routing path intact and your compactor running at full capacity.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to original design tolerances, ensuring correct flow geometry and connection dimensions for the inlet path on the DPU 100-70Le.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and bend radius exactly, allowing straightforward removal of the worn part and reinstallation without reworking connections.
- Confirmed DPU 100-70Le Fitment — Verified for the DPU 100-70Le VIBROPLATE and DPU100-70Le Reversible Vibratory Plate, covering both recorded machine configurations in this heavy-duty diesel reversible plate family.
- Maintains Proper Flow Routing — A correctly seated inlet bend preserves the designed intake path; a cracked or collapsed bend restricts flow, leading to overheating or poor engine performance on the compactor.
- Sourced from the OEM — Carries the Wacker Neuson part number 5000226275 for straightforward cross-referencing against service manuals and parts diagrams during maintenance.
The inlet bend is a curved duct or pipe fitting that directs the flow of air — or in some configurations, coolant — from one component into the next along the intake or cooling circuit of the machine. On a heavy-duty diesel reversible plate compactor like the DPU 100-70Le, maintaining an unobstructed and properly sealed inlet path is critical to engine breathing and thermal management. When the inlet bend cracks, splits, or deforms, the resulting leak or restriction can cause the engine to run lean, overheat, or lose power, directly affecting the compaction output and overall machine performance.
