The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Nipple Fitting designed for the E5000 ground heater series, HI750, HI900, and HI260 indirect-fired air heater series, as well as CUB400 and CUB700 skid-mounted and mobile indirect-fired air heater configurations. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact specifications of the original component it replaces. The Nipple Fitting is a direct-fit replacement, ensuring correct installation without modification across a wide range of heater platforms. Whether you're servicing a diesel ground heater on a job site or restoring flow through a mobile indirect-fired unit, this fitting delivers the connection integrity your system depends on.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original pressure and thread specifications, ensuring a leak-free, rated connection in demanding heating applications.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Matches the original Nipple Fitting geometry and thread pattern for a straightforward, tool-standard installation into existing fuel or fluid line ports.
- Broad Heater Compatibility: — Fits E5000 ground heaters, HI260, HI750 (G, D, GM, and GM HD variants), HI900 (D and DGM variants), and CUB400/CUB700 skid-mounted and mobile indirect-fired air heaters.
- Fuel System Integrity: — A correctly seated nipple fitting maintains proper fuel or fluid flow, preventing pressure loss that can cause inconsistent burner output or heater shutdown in cold-weather operations.
- Fuel System Safety: — A failed or corroded fitting in a direct-fired or indirect-fired heating circuit can result in fuel leaks; using the correct OEM-rated replacement minimizes that risk and keeps the system operating as engineered.
A nipple fitting is a short threaded connector used to join two sections of pipe, hose, or fittings within a fluid or fuel circuit. In indirect-fired air heaters and ground heaters, these fittings are critical junctions in the fuel delivery or coolant routing system — any compromise in their seal or thread engagement can lead to leaks, pressure drop, or burner performance issues. When a nipple fitting corrodes, cracks, or strips, the affected line must be taken offline immediately; replacing it with a properly rated OEM component like the Wacker Neuson 5000170108 restores the circuit to its original operating condition.
