The Wacker Neuson Splash Pan Panel is a genuine OEM component designed for E5000 Ground Heaters and CH5000 Cross Heaters. As a direct-from-manufacturer part, it meets the exact material and dimensional standards set for these ground and cross heating units, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation. This panel is compatible across E5000 configurations including gas burner, diesel burner, and 12kW generator/diesel variants, as well as CH5000 Cross Heater models equipped with oil burners and generator/oil burner setups. When your existing splash pan panel shows signs of cracking, corrosion, or damage, replacing it promptly with part number keeps the heater operating safely and efficiently on the jobsite.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's material specifications for ground and cross heating equipment, ensuring the panel holds up to the thermal and moisture demands of these units.
- Direct-Replacement Fit — Engineered to bolt into the existing mounting points on E5000 and CH5000 heater frames without rework or modification to surrounding components.
- Broad Heater Compatibility — Fits E5000 Ground Heater models in gas burner, diesel burner, and 12kW generator/diesel configurations, plus CH5000 Cross Heater oil burner and generator/oil burner variants.
- Fuel and Fluid Containment — A correctly functioning splash pan panel channels and contains burner-area fluids and debris, protecting surrounding components and the ground surface beneath the heater.
- Safety-Critical Panel — On combustion heating equipment, a damaged or missing splash pan panel can allow fuel residue or ignited material to escape the burner cavity; using the correct OEM replacement supports proper containment and safe heater operation.
The splash pan panel is a structural enclosure component positioned in the burner area of the ground or cross heater. Its primary role is to contain splashing fluids, combustion byproducts, and heat within the intended burner zone, directing them away from sensitive components and the surface below the unit. When the panel becomes cracked, warped, or corroded, it can allow heat and fluid to migrate to unintended areas, creating both a performance issue and a potential safety concern on heated ground-thawing or concrete-curing applications.
