The Wacker Neuson Sprinkler Pipe is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD18-80 and RD18-100 series tandem rollers, including US and SE variants. As a direct factory replacement, this sprinkler pipe matches the original specification and installs in place of the worn or damaged part without any modification. It is compatible across multiple build configurations of the RD18-80 and RD18-100 platform, including the RD18-80.3 and RD18-100.3 variants. Sourcing a genuine Wacker Neuson part ensures the water sprinkling system performs as designed, protecting drum surfaces and pavement during compaction operations.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Water Delivery Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original pipe dimensions and material spec, ensuring correct flow volume and spray distribution across the drum width.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Replaces the original 5100012314 sprinkler pipe with matching connection points, so installation is straightforward and no reworking of fittings is needed.
- Broad RD18 Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across RD18-80 and RD18-100 tandem rollers, including US-spec, SE-spec, and .3-series build variants.
- Keeps Drums Properly Wetted — A functioning sprinkler pipe prevents asphalt from sticking to the drum surface, maintaining clean roller contact and consistent compaction quality on every pass.
- Protects Against Costly Surface Damage — A cracked or blocked sprinkler pipe leads to uneven drum wetting, which can cause asphalt pickup and surface tearing — replacing it promptly keeps paving results on spec.
The sprinkler pipe is part of the drum wetting system on a tandem roller, delivering a controlled flow of water across the surface of the compaction drums during operation. This continuous moisture film prevents hot asphalt from adhering to the steel drum, which would otherwise pull and tear the mat surface, compromising the finished grade. When the sprinkler pipe cracks, clogs, or fails, uneven or absent wetting causes asphalt buildup on the drum and visible defects in the compacted surface — making prompt replacement essential to maintaining paving quality and protecting the drums themselves.
