Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to the exact material grade and thread specification of the original vent screw, ensuring proper sealing behavior and consistent venting performance.
• Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting thread and profile, dropping straight into place without reworking the housing or surrounding components.
• Broad Fitment Across DPU and BPU Families — Compatible with DPU 2540H, 2550H, 2560H, 3050H, 3060H, 3070H, 3750Hts, 3760Hts series and BPU 2540A, 3050A, 3750Ats models, covering both standard and TS/HE variants.
• Maintains Proper Pressure Venting — A functional vent screw allows trapped air or pressure to escape from the designated chamber; a failed or missing unit can lead to pressure buildup, fluid leaks, or compromised component lubrication.
• Fuel and Fluid System Integrity — Because vent screws are often positioned on fluid reservoirs or hydraulic circuits, using the correct OEM part helps prevent unintended leaks or contamination that could affect compactor operation.

A vent screw is a small but critical fastener that allows controlled release of air or pressure from a sealed chamber — such as a fuel tank, exciter housing, or hydraulic reservoir — preventing pressure buildup that could force fluid past seals or cause component damage. On vibratory plate compactors like the DPU and BPU series, maintaining correct venting is essential to stable operation of the exciter unit and fluid systems. When a vent screw becomes damaged, cross-threaded, or goes missing, the result can range from minor fluid weeping to more serious seal failure, making prompt replacement with the correct OEM part the right call.
