The Wacker Neuson Hexagonal Head Cap Screw is a genuine OEM hexagonal head cap screw designed for the DPU5545H and DPU4545H series plate compactors, including standard, US, ap, ch, ec, and zf variants. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this fastener matches the original factory specification for thread form, head geometry, and material grade — ensuring it seats and torques correctly without guesswork. It is compatible across a broad range of DPU5545 and DPU4545 configurations, making it a dependable choice whether you are servicing a single machine or maintaining a fleet.
Key Features
- Correct Thread and Head Geometry — Manufactured to the original Wacker Neuson specification, this hexagonal head cap screw delivers the precise thread engagement and clamping load the joint was engineered for.
- Drop-In Installation — Replaces the original fastener directly with no rework to mating threads or mounting surfaces, using standard hex tooling already on your truck.
- Broad DPU Series Coverage — Fits a wide range of DPU5545 and DPU4545 series plate compactors, including H, Heh, Hech, He, Heap, Hec, and Hechzf variants sold in the US and international markets.
- Maintains Clamping Integrity — A correctly torqued cap screw holds critical assemblies under the vibration loads that plate compactors generate continuously — a worn or incorrect fastener risks joint loosening and component damage during operation.
- Genuine OEM Part — Part number 5100013817 is an authorized Wacker Neuson replacement, giving you confidence that material grade and dimensional tolerances match what left the factory originally.
A hexagonal head cap screw is a fully threaded or partially threaded fastener with a six-sided head designed to be driven by a wrench or socket. In plate compactor applications, cap screws secure structural and mechanical assemblies that are subjected to sustained vibration and impact forces during compaction work. When a cap screw stretches, strips, or is substituted with an incorrect grade or thread pitch, the joint can lose clamping force and allow components to shift or separate — leading to accelerated wear, misalignment, or failure of the assembly it holds together.
