The Wacker Neuson Water Tank Kit is a genuine OEM component designed for the WP1540 and WP1550 series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this kit restores the water ballast and surface-wetting system to original specification across a wide range of WP1540 and WP1550 model variants — including AW, W, A, V, R, and standard configurations. Using the correct OEM part ensures proper fit within the plate's frame and connection points, with no adaptation required. Keep your compaction equipment performing at its best by replacing worn or damaged water tank components with the part engineered specifically for these machines.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Integrity — Factory-sourced from Wacker Neuson, this kit meets the exact material and dimensional standards of the original water tank assembly, ensuring the wetting system delivers consistent flow and surface coverage.
- Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting points and connection hardware on WP1540 and WP1550 plates, so installation follows the same procedure as the factory-fitted unit.
- Broad WP Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across WP1540 and WP1550 variants, including AW, A, W, V, R, and base configurations — covering both 400 mm and 500 mm plate-width models.
- Protects Asphalt Surfaces During Compaction — A functioning water tank prevents the compactor base plate from sticking to hot asphalt mix. A failed or leaking tank leads to surface tearing, inefficient passes, and potential rework costs.
- Complete Kit Format — Supplied as a full kit rather than individual components, so all necessary parts are sourced in a single order and the repair can be completed in one service session.
The water tank on a vibratory plate compactor continuously wets the base plate during asphalt compaction, creating a thin film that prevents the hot mix from adhering to the steel. Without a properly functioning water tank, the plate drags and tears the asphalt surface rather than compacting it cleanly, resulting in poor mat quality and increased operator effort. When the tank cracks, fittings leak, or the kit components wear out, replacing the entire assembly with a matched OEM kit like the Wacker Neuson 5000114482 restores correct flow rate and coverage across the full width of the plate.
