Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thread Specification — M5 x 18 dimensions match the original tapping screw exactly, maintaining proper thread engagement depth in the generator housing or panel.
- Direct-Drive Replacement — Installs in place of the original screw with no drilling, re-tapping, or hardware modification needed.
- Broad GP and GPS Generator Compatibility — Fits GP3800A, GP4000, GP5600A, GP6600A, GPS5600A, and GPS6600A series generators across multiple regulatory configurations.
- Structural Fastening Integrity — A correctly torqued tapping screw keeps covers, panels, and guards secured against engine vibration during operation; a stripped or missing fastener compromises component retention.
- Verified Wacker Neuson Part Number — Cross-reference 5000162476 against your machine's parts diagram to confirm fitment before ordering.
A tapping screw is a self-threading fastener designed to cut its own mating thread as it is driven into a pre-drilled or molded hole in sheet metal, plastic, or cast housings. In portable generators like the Wacker Neuson GP and GPS series, tapping screws are used to secure covers, control panels, guards, and structural brackets, holding components firmly in place against the constant vibration produced during generator operation. When a tapping screw becomes stripped, corroded, or lost, the component it retains can work loose over time, potentially exposing internal parts or creating unwanted movement that accelerates wear on surrounding components.
