Important Fitment Notice
Truckmount parts can vary by machine model, production date, serial number and previous equipment modifications. Please compare all part numbers, hose connections, mounting points and dimensions with the part being replaced before ordering. Do not order solely by machine name or appearance.
Product Description
The Legend Brands 100899 is a replacement copper heater core, heat exchanger and preheater assembly used in the water-heating system of select Prochem Apex, Everest and Peak truckmount extractors.
The assembly transfers available engine or system heat into the incoming cleaning solution before the water reaches the machine’s high-pressure heating stage. Replacing a leaking, restricted or damaged heater core can help restore proper water flow and heat-transfer performance.

Copper Versus Stainless-Steel Heater Cores
This listing is for the copper version. Some Prochem truckmounts or updated configurations may use a different copper assembly or a stainless-steel heater core. These parts are not automatically interchangeable. Match the OEM part number and physical configuration before purchase.
Symptoms of a Damaged Heater Core
- Water or cleaning solution leaking from the heater-core area
- Reduced solution flow caused by internal mineral buildup or restriction
- Lower-than-normal operating temperature
- Visible corrosion, cracking or freeze damage
- Pressure loss within the solution-heating system
These symptoms may also be caused by hoses, fittings, valves, thermostats, bypass systems or other components. Troubleshoot the machine before replacing the heater core.
Installation and Safety
Installation should be completed by a qualified truckmount service technician. Allow the machine to cool completely and relieve all solution-system pressure before beginning service. Disconnect the battery and follow the truckmount manufacturer’s service procedures.
After installation, inspect all connections and pressure-test the system for leaks before returning the machine to service. Never work on a hot or pressurized heater system.
Special-Order Repair Part — All Sales Final

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the heater core for every Prochem Everest?
No. Prochem produced multiple Everest versions and configurations. Confirm the serial number, original part number and connection layout before ordering.
Is this a complete truckmount heat exchanger?
This is the copper heater-core or preheater assembly identified by part number 100899. It is not the complete truckmount heating system.
Does it fit the Prochem Apex and Peak?
It is commonly cross-referenced for select Apex and Peak machines, but compatibility must be verified by serial number and original part number.
Is this the same as Kärcher 8.602-978.0?
Yes. Legend Brands 100899 is cross-referenced with Kärcher/Windsor 8.602-978.0 and 86029780.
Can I replace a stainless-steel heater core with this copper core?
Do not assume the two versions are interchangeable. Compare the OEM part number, dimensions, connections and mounting arrangement.
Can freeze damage cause this part to leak?
Yes. Water trapped inside the heater core can expand when frozen and split or deform the copper tubing. Properly winterize truckmount equipment before exposure to freezing temperatures.
