Replacement Transition Inlet Head Weldment for Vactor 2100 Vacuum Trucks

This UEMSI Transition Inlet Head Weldment is a replacement vacuum system component for compatible Vactor 2100 Series combination sewer cleaning trucks.

Installed at the debris body inlet, the transition inlet head weldment provides the mounting structure and transition point for the compatible inlet seal assembly. A properly fitted inlet head and seal help maintain the closed vacuum path required for effective debris loading, sewer cleaning, catch basin cleaning, and liquid recovery operations.

This replacement weldment is intended for trucks using the 14-inch x 15-inch inlet seal configuration. It is compatible with the UEMSI G49654-SP molded inlet seal assembly, which is sold separately unless specifically stated otherwise.

The G62222 is a practical replacement for damaged, worn, bent, or heavily corroded inlet head components on compatible Vactor equipment. Replacing a compromised weldment can help restore proper seal alignment and reduce vacuum loss caused by an inlet connection that no longer seats correctly.

Compatibility notice: Verify the truck model, debris body configuration, existing weldment part number, inlet opening dimensions, and required seal assembly before ordering. Vactor equipment configurations can vary by model year and build specification.

Compatible Replacement Components

Recommended Inlet Seal

The G62222 transition inlet head weldment is designed for use with the compatible UEMSI G49654-SP 14-inch x 15-inch molded inlet seal assembly.

The inlet seal mounts to the weldment and helps maintain the vacuum connection at the debris body inlet. The seal assembly may include attachment hardware, but package contents should be verified before ordering.

Compatibility Warning

Do not substitute the 14-inch x 16-inch inlet seal intended for later Vactor 2100i or HXX equipment without confirming fitment. Those configurations may use a different inlet head weldment and seal assembly.

Signs the Inlet Head Weldment May Need Replacement

Inspect the existing inlet head weldment if the truck experiences:

• Reduced vacuum performance
• Air leakage around the debris body inlet
• Incomplete contact between the seal and mating surface
• Visible bending or distortion
• Heavy rust or corrosion

Vacuum loss can have several causes. Inspect the complete vacuum path, including the inlet seal, hoses, clamps, gaskets, valves, tank door seal, tubing, and related connections before identifying the weldment as the source of the problem.

Installation Considerations

Installation should be completed by a qualified truck equipment technician familiar with vacuum systems, debris bodies, and combination sewer cleaning equipment.

Before installation:

• Confirm the existing part number
• Verify the truck model and year
• Measure the inlet and seal configuration
• Inspect the adjoining weldment and mounting surfaces
• Check the compatible seal for damage

Do not enter or work inside a debris body without following all applicable confined-space, lockout, depressurization, and equipment service procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UEMSI G62222?

The UEMSI G62222 is a transition inlet head weldment used on compatible Vactor 2100 Series combination sewer cleaning trucks. It supports the inlet seal assembly at the debris body vacuum inlet.

What equipment does the G62222 fit?

The G62222 is associated with compatible Vactor 2100 Series trucks using a 14-inch x 15-inch inlet seal configuration.

Truck configurations can vary, so the existing component number and dimensions should be verified before ordering.

What inlet seal fits the G62222 weldment?

The compatible replacement is the UEMSI G49654-SP 14-inch x 15-inch molded inlet seal assembly.

Is the inlet seal included with the G62222?

The G62222 should be treated as the weldment only unless the product packaging or Range Supply listing specifically states that an inlet seal is included.

What does an inlet head weldment do?

The inlet head weldment provides the transition and mounting structure at the vacuum inlet of the debris body. It supports the compatible seal assembly and helps create the closed vacuum path used to move air and debris into the tank.

Can a damaged inlet weldment cause vacuum loss?

Yes. A bent, cracked, corroded, or distorted weldment can prevent the inlet seal from seating correctly. This may allow air to enter the system and reduce vacuum performance.

However, vacuum loss can also result from damaged hoses, loose clamps, worn seals, open valves, tank door leaks, or other problems within the vacuum circuit.

Does this fit a Vactor 2100i?

Do not assume that the G62222 fits a Vactor 2100i. Later 2100i and HXX configurations may use a different weldment and a 14-inch x 16-inch inlet seal.

Confirm the truck model, build information, existing part number, and inlet dimensions before ordering.

Should the inlet seal be replaced at the same time?

Replacing the seal may be appropriate if the existing seal is worn, torn, hardened, distorted, separated from its frame, or no longer creating consistent contact.

Inspect the existing seal and mating components before completing the repair.

Is professional installation recommended?

Yes. Installation should be performed by a technician familiar with vacuum trucks and combination sewer cleaning equipment. The debris body must be fully secured, depressurized, and serviced according to applicable safety procedures.
