The Wacker Neuson Air Cleaner Elbow Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for WP1540A, WP1550A, VP1340, VP1550, VP2050 series vibratory plates, as well as select BPU, WPU, HP, HPG, PT, and BT series machines. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation without guesswork. Fitment spans a wide range of Wacker Neuson vibratory plate and accessory models, making this a frequently needed service part across large equipment fleets. Keep a spare on hand to get your machine back in service quickly after scheduled maintenance or inspection.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Air Routing Integrity — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to original dimensional tolerances, ensuring the elbow seals and routes air correctly between the air cleaner assembly and the engine intake.
- Direct Drop-In Installation — Connects to the existing air cleaner mounting points with no trimming, re-drilling, or adapter fittings required — restores the original air path geometry on the first attempt.
- Broad Fleet Coverage — Fits WP1540A, WP1550A, VP1340, VP1550, VP2050, BPU2540A, WPU1550, HP50A, HP100A, HPG50A, HPG100A, PT2A, BT24A, BT36A, and additional Wacker Neuson series, reducing the number of unique SKUs needed across a mixed fleet.
- Protects Engine Air Supply — A cracked or deformed intake elbow allows unfiltered air and debris to bypass the air cleaner element, accelerating engine wear; replacing it promptly preserves proper filtration and engine longevity.
- Fuel System Safety Compliance — Maintaining an intact, correctly seated air elbow ensures the engine operates within its designed air-to-fuel ratio, preventing rich-running conditions that can increase exhaust emissions and create fuel management issues on the jobsite.
The air cleaner elbow complete is the formed connector that routes air from the air cleaner housing into the engine's intake, maintaining a sealed, debris-free air supply path. On vibratory plate compactors and similar equipment, this elbow is subject to constant vibration and heat cycling, which can cause cracking, deformation, or loosening of the connection over time. When this part fails, unfiltered air enters the engine directly, leading to accelerated cylinder and piston wear — making timely replacement a straightforward way to protect a significant equipment investment.
