The Multiquip 00172 Flange Bolt 8X12 is a genuine OEM fastener designed for MVH308, MVH408, and MVH508 series reversible plate compactors, as well as GBX balloon lighting systems. As a direct OEM replacement, this bolt is manufactured to the same specifications as the original hardware, ensuring a correct and secure fit without modification. It is confirmed compatible with a broad range of MVH-series machines including the MVH308DE, MVH308DZ, MVH308GH, MVH408DE, MVH408DZ, MVH408GH, MVH408GV, MVH508DE, MVH508DZ, MVH508GH, and MVH508GV, along with GBX12S, GBX12SK, GBX24B, GBX24S, GBX, and GB43LED CSA units. Sourcing the correct OEM fastener like the Multiquip 00172 keeps critical assemblies properly torqued and structurally sound through demanding compaction cycles.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Grade — Manufactured to Multiquip's original torque and shear specifications for this bolt size and thread pitch, so clamping force stays consistent under vibration-heavy compaction loads.
- Direct Hardware Replacement — M8x12 flange bolt profile matches the original mounting points on MVH-series plate compactors and GBX balloon systems, dropping straight into existing threaded bores.
- Broad MVH-Series Compatibility — Confirmed fit across MVH308, MVH408, and MVH508 diesel and gasoline variants, covering DE, DZ, GH, and GV suffix models.
- Vibration-Resistant Flange Design — The integrated flange distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface, resisting loosening caused by the continuous vibration output of reversible plate compactors.
- Structural Integrity Under Load — A worn, stripped, or incorrect bolt in a compactor assembly can lead to component shift or failure mid-operation; using the correct OEM 00172 maintains the structural integrity of the bolted joint.
A flange bolt is a hex bolt with a wide integrated washer-like flange beneath the head that distributes clamping force across a larger surface area than a standard bolt. On reversible plate compactors like the MVH series, components are subject to constant high-frequency vibration, which can cause standard fasteners to back out or lose torque over time. The flange design of the Multiquip 00172 resists this loosening effect, maintaining secure assembly connections throughout extended use. When this bolt is worn, damaged, or missing, the joint it secures becomes vulnerable to movement, accelerating wear on surrounding components and creating potential safety concerns during operation.
