The Wacker Neuson Housing is a genuine OEM component designed for E5000 Ground Heaters and CH5000 Cross Heaters. As a direct OEM replacement, this housing is sourced from Wacker Neuson and built to the same specifications as the original part fitted at the factory. Compatible across multiple E5000 configurations — including gas burner, diesel burner, and 12kW generator/diesel variants — as well as CH5000 Cross Heater models with oil burner and generator/oil burner setups. When the housing on your ground or cross heater is cracked, damaged, or worn, replacing it with the correct OEM part ensures the unit's structural integrity and thermal performance are fully restored.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional tolerances, ensuring the housing correctly contains and protects the heater's internal components under continuous thermal cycling.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and profiles of the E5000 and CH5000 heater assemblies, dropping in without modification to hardware or mounting hardware.
- Broad Model Coverage — Confirmed fitment across E5000 gas burner, E5000 diesel burner, E5000 12kW generator/diesel, CH5000 oil burner, and CH5000 generator/oil burner configurations.
- Structural Integrity Restored — A compromised housing can allow heat loss, expose internal burner components to physical damage, and reduce the heater's output efficiency; this replacement restores full enclosure performance.
- Verified OEM Part Number — Part number 5000173235 is the genuine Wacker Neuson reference for this housing, eliminating guesswork when ordering for E5000 and CH5000 units.
The housing on an E5000 Ground Heater or CH5000 Cross Heater serves as the primary structural enclosure, surrounding and protecting the burner assembly, heat exchanger, and related internal components. It channels airflow correctly through the unit and shields the working parts from physical damage and environmental exposure during operation. When the housing is cracked, warped, or otherwise compromised, heat distribution becomes uneven, internal components are left vulnerable, and the heater may fail to deliver its rated output — making timely replacement critical to keeping ground thawing or space heating operations running at full capacity.
