The Wacker Neuson Nut, Rivet, 5/16-18,.027-.15 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 is manufactured to the same dimensional and material standards as the original hardware installed at the factory. With a 5/16-18 thread specification and a.027–.15 grip range, it delivers a secure, thread-locking connection in the panel or structural section it anchors. Choosing the correct OEM fastener ensures the assembly holds to spec throughout the machine's working life.
Key Features
- OEM Thread Accuracy — Manufactured to exact 5/16-18 thread specifications, ensuring full thread engagement and consistent clamping force without stripping or cross-threading.
- Correct Grip Range — The .027–.15 grip range matches the original material thickness, so the rivet nut seats and locks exactly as intended during installation.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Part 5100015571 installs in the same location and manner as the original, requiring no rework to the mounting surface or surrounding hardware.
- Broad VRS Sweeper Coverage — Compatible across the 60", 72", and 84" Wacker Neuson Heavy-Duty Vacuum Ready Sweeper Pick-Up Broom models in a single part number.
- Structural Holding Integrity — A worn or missing rivet nut can allow panels or broom components to shift under load; replacing it promptly restores the rigid connection the assembly depends on.
A rivet nut — also called a blind rivet nut or threaded insert — is a fastener that provides a permanent, load-bearing threaded anchor in a panel or thin-wall section where a standard nut cannot be accessed from the back. It is installed by collapsing the sleeve against the rear of the material, locking it in place and leaving a clean internal thread for a bolt or screw to engage. When a rivet nut becomes stripped, loose, or corroded, the fastened joint loses its holding strength, which can allow guards, broom assemblies, or structural covers to work loose during operation and accelerate wear on surrounding components.
