Wacker Neuson 5100012481 Greasing Nipple

The Wacker Neuson 5100012481 is a genuine OEM Greasing Nipple designed for the RC and RD series single-drum soil compactors and tandem rollers. As a direct OEM replacement, this greasing nipple meets Wacker Neuson's original manufacturing specifications, ensuring it threads and seats correctly in the designated lubrication points without rework or adaptation. It fits an extensive range of models across the RC50, RC70, RC110, RD18, RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, and RD45 series, covering both open-ROPS and cab-equipped configurations. Keeping the correct grease fitting in place is essential for maintaining lubrication schedules and protecting high-wear components throughout the machine's service life.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Thread Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original thread specification, so the nipple accepts a standard grease gun coupler and seals without cross-threading or leakage.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original fitting size, thread pitch, and head profile for straightforward installation at any scheduled lubrication point.
• Broad Series Compatibility — Fits RC50, RC70, RC110 single-drum soil compactors and RD18, RD24, RD27, RD28, RD40, and RD45 tandem rollers, including DPF, CAB, ROPS, and open variants.
• Protects Critical Lubrication Points — A damaged or missing grease fitting prevents grease from reaching bearings, pins, and pivots, accelerating wear and leading to costly component failure.
• Corrosion-Resistant Construction — Built to withstand the dirt, moisture, and mechanical contact typical of compaction and roller applications in the field.

A greasing nipple — also called a grease fitting or zerk fitting — is the small valve-style port through which grease is injected into a bearing, pin, or pivot assembly during routine lubrication. It contains a spring-loaded ball check that opens under grease gun pressure to admit lubricant and closes automatically to keep contaminants out. When a grease fitting becomes damaged, clogged, or missing entirely, the connected component can no longer be properly lubricated, causing accelerated wear, heat buildup, and eventual failure of bearings or articulation joints. Replacing a worn or broken fitting promptly with the correct OEM part, such as the Wacker Neuson 5100012481, keeps lubrication intervals effective and protects the drivetrain and compaction components on your RC or RD series machine.
