The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Tapping Screw M5 x 14 designed for the GP, GPS, and GV series portable generators. As a factory-sourced fastener, is manufactured to the exact thread pitch, head dimensions, and material specification required by Wacker Neuson's engineering tolerances. This screw sees broad application across the GP2500A, GP2600, GP3800A, GP4000, GP5600A, GP6600A, GPS5600A, GPS6600A, GPS9700A, and GV2500A generator families, making it a high-demand service item across the full portable generator lineup. Keeping the correct fastener on hand ensures panel components and covers seat securely without thread damage or fastener failure.
Key Features
- Exact Thread Specification: — Cut to M5 x 14 dimensions with a self-tapping profile that bites cleanly into the host material — no cross-threading or rework required during installation.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing: — Produced to Wacker Neuson's own material and hardness standards, so the screw delivers the clamping force the original design calls for rather than an approximated substitute.
- Broad Generator Family Coverage: — A single part number spans the GP2500A through GPS9700A range, including wheel-kit, electric-start, CARB, EPA, CSA, and CAN GFI configurations — covering both domestic and Canadian-market units.
- Secure Panel and Cover Retention: — A properly torqued tapping screw keeps housings, covers, and brackets firmly located; a stripped or incorrect screw allows vibration-induced loosening that can expose internal components to dust and moisture.
- Direct Service Replacement: — Matches the OEM part number used on the original assembly line, so parts lookup and installation cross-reference against existing service documentation without guesswork.
A tapping screw is a self-threading fastener that cuts its own mating thread as it is driven into a pre-drilled or molded hole, eliminating the need for a separate nut on the receiving side. On portable generators like the GP and GPS series, tapping screws are used to secure panels, covers, brackets, and other sheet-metal or plastic components that must be removed for routine service and then reliably refastened. When a tapping screw is stripped, over-torqued, or replaced with an incorrect size, the resulting loose fit allows covers to shift under engine vibration, creating potential for ingress of debris and accelerated wear on the components beneath.
