The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Vent Screw designed for BPU and DPU series reversible vibratory plate compactors. This OEM part is sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's authorized parts supply chain, ensuring it meets the exact specifications of the original component installed at the factory. Verified fitment covers a wide range of BPU gasoline-powered and DPU diesel-powered reversible plate compactors, including the DPU 2540H, DPU 2560H, BPU 2540A, BPU 3050A, DPU 3050H, DPU 3060H, DPU 3070H, DPU 3750Hts, DPU 3760Hts, BPU 3750Ats, and associated TS and HE variants. Using part number confirms you're ordering the correct replacement for your specific machine.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Thread and Material Spec — Manufactured to the precise thread profile, material grade, and sealing tolerances of the original Wacker Neuson vent screw, ensuring a proper, leak-free seat.
- Drop-In Installation — Threads directly into the original port with no reworking of the housing or surrounding hardware required.
- Broad BPU and DPU Compatibility — Fits a wide range of Wacker Neuson reversible vibratory plate compactors across the 2540, 2550, 2560, 3050, 3060, 3070, 3750, and 3760 model lines, including standard, TS, HE, and US variants.
- Maintains Proper Pressure Equalization — A correctly functioning vent screw allows trapped air and pressure to escape from fluid reservoirs, preventing pressure buildup that can cause seal failure or fluid leaks.
- Fuel and Fluid System Integrity — A failed or missing vent screw can allow contaminants into sealed cavities or cause vacuum lock in fluid systems, both of which can compromise compactor performance and service life.
A vent screw is a small but critical component in the fluid management system of a reversible vibratory plate compactor. It allows air pressure to equalize within a sealed reservoir — such as an exciter housing or hydraulic compartment — preventing the buildup of internal pressure that can force fluid past seals or cause a vacuum that restricts fluid flow. When a vent screw is damaged, blocked, or missing, operators may notice fluid leaks, erratic compaction force, or accelerated seal wear. Replacing a worn or damaged vent screw promptly protects the surrounding seals and housings from secondary damage.
