The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Screw #10X5/8 Self Tap Phillip designed for VP-series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fastener matches the exact thread profile, head style, and drive type specified for your machine — no guesswork, no substitutions. It is confirmed to fit the VPR1330, VPA1340, VPA1350W, VPA1740, VPA1750, VPX1740, and VPX1750 vibratory plate models. When it's time to service a cover, guard, or panel on your plate compactor, having the correct OEM hardware on hand keeps the job moving.
Key Features
- Exact Thread and Drive Specification — Genuine OEM hardware with the correct #10 x 5/8 self-tapping thread and Phillip drive profile, ensuring proper engagement without stripping or over-torquing.
- Direct Panel and Housing Fastener — Drops straight into the existing tapped locations on VP-series compactor covers and guards with no rethreading or pilot drilling required.
- Broad VP-Series Compatibility — Fits VPR1330, VPA1340, VPA1350W, VPA1740, VPA1750, VPX1740, and VPX1750 single-direction vibratory plate compactors.
- Authentic Wacker Neuson Quality — Manufactured to the same material hardness and corrosion-resistance grade as the original hardware, so panels and guards stay securely fastened under continuous vibration loads.
- Smart Stock Item — A common service fastener across multiple VP-series models; keeping a supply on hand prevents delays during routine panel removal and reinstallation.
Self-tapping screws like the 5000079294 are used throughout vibratory plate compactors to secure access panels, engine covers, and protective guards to the machine frame. Unlike standard machine screws, self-tappers cut their own thread as they are driven, making them ideal for repeated assembly and disassembly into sheet metal and light housings. When these fasteners become stripped, corroded, or lost during service, replacing them with the correct OEM part ensures the panel sits flush, vibration loads are distributed properly, and no hardware works loose during operation.
