The Wacker Neuson Nut, Rivet, 5/16-18,.15-.312 Grip is a genuine OEM fastener designed for the Vacuum Ready Sweeper series, including the 60", 72", and 84" Heavy-Duty VRS Pick-Up Broom models. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this rivet nut meets the exact thread specification and grip range called out in the original equipment design. Its 5/16-18 thread and.15–.312 grip range ensure the correct clamp load and thread engagement when installed in the machine's designated panel or structural location. If you're servicing or reassembling a VRS sweeper attachment, using the correct OEM fastener keeps the assembly performing exactly as intended.
Key Features
- Correct Thread and Grip Spec: — 5/16-18 thread with a .15–.312 grip range matches the original fastener specification exactly, ensuring proper thread engagement and clamp force.
- Genuine OEM Part: — Supplied by Wacker Neuson as an authorized replacement, so you get the same fastener that left the factory — no guesswork on compatibility.
- Direct-Fit Installation: — Designed to install into existing mounting locations on VRS sweeper assemblies without any rework or modification to surrounding components.
- Broad VRS Sweeper Coverage: — Fits the 60", 72", and 84" Heavy-Duty Vacuum Ready Sweeper Pick-Up Broom models, covering the full standard VRS attachment lineup.
- Structural Integrity at the Joint: — A correctly spec'd rivet nut maintains a secure, vibration-resistant connection; an incorrect grip range or thread pitch can lead to loosening, panel movement, or stripped threads under load.
A rivet nut — also known as a blind fastener nut — is a threaded insert that installs into a panel or tube wall from one side, creating a solid threaded anchor point without requiring access to the back of the material. On sweeper attachments like the VRS Pick-Up Broom, these fasteners are used to secure covers, guards, and structural panels that experience continuous vibration during operation. When a rivet nut strips, loosens, or is missing, attached components can shift or detach, compromising the sweeper's structural integrity and overall performance. Replacing it with the correct OEM part — matched to the original grip range and thread size — restores a dependable, rattle-free connection.
