The Wacker Neuson Breather Tube is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 100-70Le series reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct OEM replacement sourced through authorized channels, this part matches the original specification installed at the factory — no guesswork on fitment. Verified compatibility includes the DPU 100-70Le Vibroplate and the DPU 100-70Le Reversible Vibratory Plate configurations, making it the correct choice for operators maintaining these heavy-duty diesel compaction machines. Keep part number on hand to minimize service interruptions during scheduled maintenance or unplanned repairs.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to the original dimensional and material specification, ensuring the tube maintains proper venting capacity without collapsing, kinking, or degrading under engine heat and vibration.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Designed to connect to the existing mounting points on DPU 100-70Le machines, slotting into place without modification to hose routing or fittings.
- Confirmed DPU 100-70Le Fitment: — Compatible with the DPU 100-70Le Vibroplate and DPU 100-70Le Reversible Vibratory Plate — two closely related configurations within the DPU 100-70 family.
- Protects Engine Internals: — A correctly functioning breather tube allows crankcase pressure to vent properly, preventing oil leaks, seal damage, and pressure buildup that can accelerate engine wear.
- Fuel and Emissions System Integrity: — A failed or blocked breather tube can force oil-laden vapors into unintended areas of the fuel or air system; using the correct OEM part maintains proper crankcase ventilation as engineered.
The breather tube is part of the engine's crankcase ventilation system. Its job is to route blow-by gases and pressure out of the crankcase so that internal pressure does not build up against seals, gaskets, and other engine components. When the tube cracks, collapses, or becomes blocked, pressure can force oil past seals and into areas of the engine where it does not belong — leading to oil consumption, leaks, and potential engine damage over time. On a heavy-duty reversible plate compactor like the DPU 100-70Le, which operates under sustained vibration and load, keeping this tube in good condition is a straightforward but important part of routine engine maintenance.
