The Bomag 05546061 Bleeder Screw is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BW-series single drum rollers and tandem rollers, including the BW 177, BW 213, and BW 226 families. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Bomag, this bleeder screw delivers the exact thread pitch, material grade, and sealing geometry required for proper hydraulic or cooling system bleeding on your machine. Confirmed fitment spans a wide range of models — including the BW 177 DH-4, BW 213 DH-4, BW 213-5, BW 226 DH-4, BW 226-5, BW 219-5, BW 206 AD-5 AM, and BW 191 AD-5 AM, among others — so you can order with confidence knowing this part is specified for your roller.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thread and Sealing Integrity — Manufactured to Bomag's exact specifications, this bleeder screw provides the correct thread form and seating taper to create a leak-free seal every time it is tightened down.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original port size and thread engagement, so installation is straightforward with standard hand tools and no rework to the surrounding hardware.
- Broad Single Drum and Tandem Roller Coverage — Fits an extensive range of Bomag rollers, including BW 177, BW 213, and BW 226 single drum rollers across multiple generation variants, as well as BW 206 AD-5 AM and BW 191 AD-5 AM tandem rollers.
- Proper Air Purge for Full System Pressure — A correctly functioning bleeder screw allows trapped air to be fully evacuated from hydraulic or cooling circuits, ensuring the system reaches rated operating pressure and temperature without air pockets that cause erratic performance.
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction — Built to withstand the heat cycling and fluid exposure common in heavy compaction equipment, resisting the thread galling and corrosion that cause bleeder screws to seize or snap during routine service.
A bleeder screw provides a controlled vent point in a hydraulic or cooling circuit, allowing trapped air or excess fluid to be purged from the system during bleeding procedures. When a bleeder screw is damaged, cross-threaded, or missing, air remains locked in the circuit, leading to spongy hydraulic response, inconsistent drum drive behavior, or overheating — all of which affect compaction performance and can accelerate wear on more expensive components. Replacing a worn or leaking bleeder screw with a correct OEM part, such as part number 05546061, ensures the bleeding procedure can be completed cleanly and the system sealed properly before the roller returns to work.
