The Wacker Neuson Flexible Tube is a genuine OEM component designed for the IRFU38, IRFU45, IEC38, IEC45, and IRflex series internal concrete vibrators. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part is manufactured to the exact dimensions and material specifications required for proper operation across the full range of compatible models. Whether you are servicing an IRFU38/230/5, an IEC45/230/5, or an IRflex45/230/5r, this is the correct OEM replacement to restore your vibrator to original working condition.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Flexibility and Durability — Constructed to Wacker Neuson's original material spec, delivering the bend radius, wall thickness, and flexibility characteristics required to transmit vibration effectively without fatigue cracking.
- Direct Swap Installation — Matches original connection points and tube geometry exactly, allowing the flexible tube to seat and secure without modification to the vibrator housing or poker head.
- Broad Series Compatibility — Fits IRFU38 and IRFU45, IEC38 and IEC45, and IRflex38 and IRflex45 internal vibrators across multiple voltage configurations including 120V, 230V, GV, and CH variants.
- Sustained Vibration Transfer — A sound flexible tube maintains consistent energy transmission from the motor to the poker head. A cracked, kinked, or worn tube reduces vibration output and leads to inadequate concrete consolidation.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — As a genuine OEM part on high-frequency internal vibrators, this flexible tube maintains the original protective integrity of the electrical conductor path between the converter and vibrator head, supporting safe operation on live equipment.
The flexible tube on a concrete internal vibrator serves as the conduit connecting the drive motor or converter unit to the vibrating poker head. It houses the drive shaft or electrical conductors that transmit high-frequency energy down to the needle, and its flexibility allows the operator to maneuver the poker freely within the concrete pour. When the flexible tube cracks, kinks, or deteriorates, vibration output drops, the drive components can bind or fail, and — on electrically driven units — conductor insulation may be compromised. Replacing a worn flexible tube promptly keeps the vibrator performing at full output and the job running on schedule.
