The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Tapping Screw M5 x 12 designed for the GP, GPS, and GV series portable generators, including the GP3800A, GP5600A, GP6600A, GPS5600A, GPS6600A, GP4000, GV2500A, GV3800A, GV5600A, GV6600A, and GP2500A. As a direct OEM part sourced through the Wacker Neuson supply chain, it matches the original fastener specification used on the production line. This screw is used across a wide range of GP, GPS, and GV generator configurations — including standard, wheel kit, electric start, CARB, EPA, CSA, and CAN GFI variants — making it a high-demand service item for fleet operators and service technicians alike. Having the correct fastener on hand means panels, covers, and components go back together properly, with no improvised substitutions that could compromise the enclosure's integrity.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thread Form — M5 x 12 tapping thread matches the original specification exactly, ensuring it cuts and seats correctly into the existing boss or panel material without stripping.
- Direct Panel and Cover Replacement — Installs in the same location as the original fastener with no rework or re-tapping required on standard service reassembly.
- Broad Generator Family Coverage — Compatible with GP, GPS, and GV series generators from the GP2500A through the GP6600A and GV6600A, spanning recoil-start, electric-start, and wheel-kit configurations.
- Enclosure Integrity Maintained — A correctly torqued tapping screw keeps generator panels and guards seated flush, preventing vibration-induced loosening during operation and protecting internal components from debris.
- High-Volume Service Part — Used at multiple fastener points across these generator families, making it a smart stocking item for service shops managing GP and GV series units in the field.
A tapping screw is a self-threading fastener designed to form its own mating thread as it is driven into a pre-drilled hole in sheet metal, plastic, or a cast boss. On Wacker Neuson GP and GV series generators, tapping screws like the 5000162474 are used to secure enclosure panels, protective guards, and component covers to the generator frame. When one of these screws is missing, cross-threaded, or corroded, the panel it holds can vibrate loose during operation, exposing internal components to damage and creating a potential safety hazard. Replacing a damaged or lost tapping screw with the correct OEM part ensures the fastener engages the material at the right depth and torque, keeping the generator's enclosure secure through extended run cycles on the jobsite.
