The Wacker Neuson Gasket is a genuine OEM component designed for the E5000 Ground Heater series, HP252, and Pureheat Hydronic Heater units. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this gasket delivers the exact material grade, thickness, and sealing profile required by the original equipment design. It is compatible across gas burner, diesel burner, and oil burner configurations of the E5000 and Pureheat platforms, as well as the E5000 12kW Generator Diesel variant. When maintaining or servicing your hydronic or ground heating equipment, using part number ensures a correct, leak-free fit from the first installation.
Key Features
- OEM Sealing Material: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and compression specifications, ensuring consistent sealing performance under the thermal cycling demands of ground and hydronic heating systems.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original gasket profile exactly, seating correctly in the same mating surfaces without trimming, shimming, or rework.
- Broad Heater Family Coverage: — Fits E5000 Ground Heaters (gas and diesel burner configurations, including the 12kW Gen Diesel variant), HP252, and Pureheat Hydronic Heaters with both oil and gas burners.
- Leak Prevention: — A worn or degraded gasket in a heating system allows combustion gases or heated fluid to escape the sealed circuit, undermining heat output and creating a potential hazard. This OEM gasket restores the intended seal integrity.
- Fuel and Heat System Safety: — In combustion-based heating equipment, a properly sealing gasket is critical to containing combustion byproducts. Using the correct OEM part for part number 5000171360 supports safe, code-compliant operation of your heating unit.
A gasket forms a static seal between two mating surfaces — such as a burner assembly, heat exchanger face, or fluid port — preventing the escape of combustion gases, heated fluid, or air under pressure. In ground heaters and hydronic heating systems like the E5000 and Pureheat series, gaskets are exposed to repeated heat cycles that gradually cause compression set and deterioration. Once a gasket loses its ability to conform to the mating surfaces, leaks develop that reduce heating efficiency and can introduce combustion gases into unintended areas. Replacing a worn gasket with the correct OEM part restores the sealed circuit and keeps the heating system operating as designed.
