The Wacker Neuson Fitting Nipple BP Close 3/8 is a genuine OEM component 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 part is manufactured to the exact tolerances and material specifications of the original, ensuring a drop-in connection with no guesswork at installation. Whether you're servicing a single unit or maintaining a fleet of sweepers, matching the correct fitting specification keeps your pneumatic or fluid circuit sealed and performing as intended.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thread Integrity — Manufactured to the precise 3/8" close nipple specification, delivering the leak-free seating that brass fittings in this service class require.
- Direct-Connect Replacement — Threads directly into the existing port without adapters or re-tapping, maintaining the original plumbing configuration of the broom system.
- Confirmed Sweeper Fitment — Verified for the 60", 72", and 84" Heavy-Duty Vacuum Ready Sweeper Pick-Up Broom models (Vaccum Ready Sweeper series).
- Sealed System Performance — A correctly installed close nipple maintains full pressure integrity in the broom's vacuum or fluid circuit; a failed or cross-threaded fitting causes pressure loss and reduced pickup efficiency.
- OEM Part Number Confidence — Part number 5100015905 cross-references directly in Wacker Neuson's parts catalog, eliminating the risk of ordering a mismatched fitting size or thread pitch.
A close nipple is a short threaded pipe fitting with male threads on both ends, used to join two female-threaded ports with minimal gap between them. In sweep and vacuum equipment like the Wacker Neuson VRS Pick-Up Broom series, these fittings connect sections of the pneumatic or fluid plumbing that route suction or pressure through the broom assembly. When a fitting corrodes, strips, or develops a weep leak, the vacuum circuit loses efficiency — the broom's pickup performance drops noticeably and the surrounding connections can sustain damage from vibration or fluid intrusion. Replacing a worn fitting promptly with the correct OEM-spec part restores the sealed circuit and protects the integrity of the fittings on either side.
