The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Rubber Grommet, 1/2 ID x 3/4, designed for the HI260, HI750, HI900, and HI1000 indirect fired air heater series, as well as Pureheat hydronic heater models. As a direct OEM component, the is manufactured to the exact material and dimensional specifications required by Wacker Neuson, ensuring a secure, rattle-free fit in the original mounting location. This grommet is compatible across a wide range of trailer-mounted, skid-mounted, diesel, gas, and dual-fuel heater configurations within the HI and Pureheat families. When your existing grommet shows cracking, compression set, or hardening, replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part keeps wire and hose routing properly protected.
Key Features
- OEM Rubber Compound: — Molded from the same rubber compound specified by Wacker Neuson, delivering the correct compression and flexibility to seal and cushion wire or hose pass-throughs without cutting into the material over time.
- Correct 1/2 ID x 3/4 Dimensions: — The 1/2-inch inner diameter and 3/4-inch sizing match the original panel hole and routed component diameter exactly, dropping straight into place without trimming or stretching.
- Broad Heater Family Coverage: — A single part number covers HI260, HI750 (G, D, GM, GM HD), HI900 (D, G, DGM), HI1000 (Gas, Diesel, DGM), and Pureheat hydronic heater models in trailer, skid, and surge-brake configurations.
- Protects Wiring and Hose Routing: — A sound grommet prevents metal panel edges from abrading wires or hoses passing through the housing; a cracked or collapsed grommet accelerates wear and can lead to shorts or fuel/fluid leaks inside the heater cabinet.
- Electrical Safety Relevance: — In heater applications, wire pass-throughs run near burner and ignition circuits; using the correctly rated OEM grommet material maintains the insulation integrity of those circuits and supports safe heater operation.
A rubber grommet is a small, ring-shaped insert pressed into a drilled or punched hole in a metal panel or housing. Its job is to cushion and protect any wire, hose, or cable that passes through that opening, preventing the sharp metal edge from cutting into the material during vibration or thermal expansion. In indirect fired air heaters and hydronic heaters like the HI and Pureheat series, grommets are used throughout the control wiring and fuel routing areas where components must pass through the heater cabinet walls. When a grommet hardens, cracks, or collapses, it loses its cushioning and sealing function, exposing wires and hoses to abrasion damage that can cause intermittent electrical faults or fluid leaks inside the unit.
