Wacker Neuson 5000072017 Screw 5/16-24 X 1 Gr5 Hex Head

The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Screw 5/16-24 X 1 Gr5 Hex Head designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson diaphragm trash pumps, vibratory plate compactors, single-drum rollers, and vibratory truss screeds. As a direct OEM replacement, part is manufactured to the exact dimensions and grade specifications called out in Wacker Neuson's original build documentation, ensuring a correct and reliable fit. Verified fitment spans the PDT2A, PDT3A, PDT2B, PDT2, PDT3, PDI2A, PDI2, PDI3A, and PDI3 diaphragm trash pump series, as well as the VPY70 single-direction plate compactor, RSS800A single-drum walk-behind roller, and HP50, HP50A, HP100, and HP100A vibratory truss screed power sections. Ordering by part number confirms you are receiving the correct grade, thread pitch, and head style for these applications.

Key Features

• Grade 5 Tensile Strength — The Gr5 rating delivers the clamping force and shear resistance required in high-vibration pump and compaction equipment environments where fastener fatigue is a real risk.
• Correct Thread Form for OEM Applications — The 5/16-24 fine-thread specification matches the original tapped holes on covered assemblies, seating flush and torquing to spec without thread damage.
• Genuine OEM Part — Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's authorized parts supply chain, ensuring dimensional accuracy and material grade consistency across the full range of covered machines.
• Broad Multi-Family Fitment — A single part number covers PDT/PDI diaphragm trash pump series, the VPY70 plate compactor, RSS800A walk-behind roller, and HP50/HP100 vibratory truss screed power sections.
• Prevents Assembly Loosening Under Load — A correctly spec'd fastener holds critical covers, housings, and structural connections secure during operation; an incorrect grade or thread pitch risks loosening, misalignment, or assembly failure.

A hex head cap screw serves as a primary structural fastener, drawing mating components together and maintaining clamping force throughout the machine's operating cycle. In vibration-intensive equipment such as trash pumps, plate compactors, and rollers, fasteners are exposed to continuous cyclic loading that can quickly compromise an under-spec or incorrect-grade screw. Using the correct OEM-specified grade and thread form ensures that joint integrity is maintained, housings stay sealed, and components remain properly aligned throughout service life.
