The Wacker Neuson Splash Pan Panel is a genuine OEM component designed for E5000 Ground Heaters and CH5000 Cross Heaters. As a factory-sourced part, it matches the original specifications of the unit it replaces, ensuring a seamless fit within the heater's lower enclosure. This panel is compatible across E5000 Gas Burner, E5000 Diesel Burner, E5000 Ground Heater with 12kW Generator, and CH5000 Cross Heater configurations. Keep your heating equipment running through the job with the correct OEM panel in place.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this panel is manufactured to the same material and dimensional standards as the original, ensuring correct fitment within the heater's enclosure without trimming or modification.
- Drop-In Replacement — Mounts to the existing panel attachment points on E5000 and CH5000 heater frames, maintaining the correct alignment of the splash protection zone beneath the burner assembly.
- Broad Heater Compatibility — Fits multiple E5000 Ground Heater variants (gas burner, diesel burner, and diesel with 12kW generator) as well as CH5000 Cross Heaters with oil burner and generator configurations.
- Protects Critical Components Below — A correctly fitted splash pan panel shields the lower heater structure from fuel drips, condensation, and debris, helping maintain the integrity of components in that zone over extended heating seasons.
- Verified Part Number — Confirm 5000172453 against your machine's serial tag or parts manual before ordering to ensure this is the correct panel for your specific E5000 or CH5000 configuration.
The splash pan panel sits at the base of the heater enclosure and acts as a protective barrier between the burner and combustion zone above and the lower structural components of the unit. Its primary role is to catch and deflect incidental fluid splash — including condensate and minor fuel weepage — preventing it from accumulating on or near sensitive areas of the heater frame. When this panel is cracked, corroded, or missing, the unprotected surfaces below become vulnerable to accelerated wear, and the heater may also fall short of safe operating condition inspections on regulated job sites.
