The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Vent Screw designed for the BPU, DPU, and APU series reversible and battery-powered vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this screw maintains the correct sealing and venting function within the exciter housing across a wide range of plate compactor models — from the compact BPU 2440A and DPU 2440H through the heavy-duty DPU 100-70 and DPU 9070. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number is held to the same manufacturing tolerances as the original component fitted at the factory. Whether you're servicing a diesel-powered DPU, a gasoline BPU, or a battery-powered APU model, this is the correct OEM replacement to spec.
Key Features
- Correct Thread Engagement and Sealing Spec — manufactured to the exact thread pitch and seat geometry of the original, ensuring a leak-free installation in the exciter housing without rework or shimming.
- Genuine OEM Part from Wacker Neuson — part number 5001103030 is sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, carrying the same material grade and dimensional spec as the component installed during original production.
- Broad Fitment Across BPU, DPU, and APU Families — confirmed compatible with gasoline BPU models, diesel DPU models ranging from 24 kN to 100 kN compaction force, and battery-powered APU plate compactors, covering decades of production variants.
- Protects Exciter Housing Integrity — a correctly functioning vent screw allows controlled pressure equalization in the exciter housing; a failed or cross-threaded screw can allow oil contamination ingress or pressure buildup, leading to seal damage and exciter failure.
- Direct Service Replacement — fits into existing hardware provisions on all listed models with no drilling, tapping, or adapter hardware required, making it a straightforward swap during routine exciter servicing.
The vent screw on a vibratory plate compactor's exciter housing serves as a controlled pressure-relief and equalization point for the oil-filled exciter unit. As the exciter operates and oil temperature rises, internal pressure must be managed to prevent seal distortion or oil leakage past gaskets. A worn, stripped, or missing vent screw compromises this balance, which can allow contaminants into the exciter housing or cause internal oil loss — either of which leads to accelerated wear or outright exciter failure. Replacing a damaged vent screw promptly is one of the lowest-cost preventive maintenance steps available for keeping a plate compactor's exciter in service long-term.
