The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Screw M3 X 12 designed for the GV3800, GV3800A, GV5600, GV5600A, GV6600, and GV6600A series portable generators. As a factory-sourced component, part is manufactured to the exact dimensions and thread specification required for a correct, secure installation in these units. This screw is a common fastener used across multiple GV-series generator configurations, including 60Hz variants, making it a practical item to have on hand for scheduled maintenance and field repairs.
Key Features
- Exact Thread and Length Specification — M3 x 12mm dimensions match the original fastener precisely, ensuring correct torque engagement and secure clamping without thread stripping or fastener play.
- Genuine OEM Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this screw is held to the same material and dimensional tolerances as the fastener installed at the factory, maintaining structural integrity at the point of installation.
- Broad GV-Series Compatibility — Fits GV3800, GV3800A, GV5600, GV5600A, GV6600, and GV6600A portable generators, including 60Hz configurations, covering a wide range of Wacker Neuson value generator models.
- Prevents Loose Assemblies and Component Shift — A worn, stripped, or missing fastener can allow panels, covers, or internal components to shift during operation; the correct replacement screw restores proper clamping load and keeps assemblies seated.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Part number 5000170938 cross-references directly to the original Wacker Neuson bill of materials for these generator models, eliminating guesswork when sourcing a like-for-like replacement.
The Screw M3 X 12 is a metric fastener used to secure panels, covers, brackets, or internal sub-assemblies within the GV-series generator housing. Though small, fasteners like this one play a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity of generator components — a loose or missing screw can allow vibration to work adjacent parts free over time, leading to rattling, misalignment, or accelerated wear of nearby components. Replacing a damaged or missing screw with the correct OEM specification part restores proper clamping force and keeps the assembly performing as intended.
