Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Grade — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's specified thread form and hardness rating, so the bolt seats and torques correctly in its host material without stripping or backing out.
- Drop-In Installation — Matches the original thread pitch and head profile exactly, threading directly into the existing tapped hole with no recutting or adapting required.
- Broad Fitment Across WP and VP Families — Compatible with WP1550RW, WP1550R, VP50H, VP50Hw, VP60H, VP60Hw, and VPR1330 vibratory plate compactors, plus PT2R trash pumps — all served by a single part number.
- Structural Integrity Under Vibration — A correctly installed tapping bolt maintains the tight assembly tolerances that vibratory plate compactors and pump housings depend on; a loose or incorrect fastener can allow panel or housing movement that leads to accelerated wear.
A tapping bolt is a self-threading fastener designed to cut or form its own mating thread as it is driven into a pre-drilled hole in sheet metal, plastic, or soft castings. On vibratory plate compactors, tapping bolts are commonly used to secure covers, guards, and housing panels that must stay firmly fixed despite constant vibration during operation. When a tapping bolt fails — through stripping, corrosion, or breakage — the fastened panel can loosen or detach, compromising machine integrity and creating a potential hazard. Replacing a worn or damaged tapping bolt with the correct OEM part restores the secure fit the assembly was engineered to maintain.
