Heat Shield/Thermal Screen for OM460 EPA04
Detroit Diesel

The heat shield or thermal screen made from steel provides essential thermal protection for components exposed to high exhaust temperatures. At 275 mm in length and 1 mm thick, it offers a lightweight yet sturdy barrier that minimizes heat transfer to surrounding parts, preventing damage and maintaining optimal operating temperatures. Its construction from steel ensures resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear over time. Proper placement of this shield is vital for protecting sensitive electronics and rubber hoses from heat degradation, which can cause system failures or safety hazards. Installing this component contributes significantly to engine longevity, performance stability, and compliance with emission standards. To ensure quality and fit, sourcing from reputable suppliers like Source One Parts Center is highly recommended for heavy-duty diesel engines.
