The Wacker Neuson Screw With Lockwasher is a genuine OEM fastener assembly designed for the E5000 Ground Heater series, including gas burner, diesel burner, and 12kW generator diesel configurations. As a direct OEM component, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original hardware installed at the factory, ensuring correct thread engagement, torque retention, and secure assembly. The integrated lockwasher eliminates the need to source a separate locking element, simplifying service and reassembly. If you are servicing or rebuilding an E5000 Ground Heater, verifying you have the correct fastener — part number — helps maintain the structural and operational integrity of the unit.
Key Features
- OEM Thread and Torque Specification — Manufactured to the exact thread pitch and head dimensions of the original fastener, ensuring full engagement without stripping or over-torquing.
- Integrated Lockwasher Design — The pre-assembled lockwasher holds clamp load under vibration and thermal cycling, keeping fastened joints secure throughout heater operation.
- Direct Replacement for E5000 Ground Heater Models — Confirmed fitment across gas burner, diesel burner, and 12kW generator diesel variants of the E5000 Ground Heater series.
- Correct Hardware Prevents Joint Failure — Using the specified fastener assembly maintains proper clamping force on panels, brackets, and internal components — incorrect hardware can lead to loosening, leaks, or structural failure during operation.
- Fuel System and Heat Zone Compliance — On ground heaters, fasteners in proximity to burner assemblies and fuel connections must meet dimensional and material requirements; genuine OEM hardware fulfills those requirements without guesswork.
A screw with lockwasher is a combined fastener assembly that secures panels, brackets, or internal components in place while resisting loosening caused by vibration, heat cycles, and mechanical stress. The lockwasher portion bites into the mating surface as the screw is torqued down, creating friction that prevents the fastener from backing out during operation. On equipment like the E5000 Ground Heater — which runs extended heating cycles and is subject to thermal expansion and contraction — fastener integrity directly affects the safety and function of the unit. A missing or incorrect fastener can allow components to shift, leading to misalignment, leaks, or compromised structural connections.
