1400-0160 - Victor 5/16-18 x 2 Inch Hex Head Tapping Bolt

Genuine Victor Replacement Hardware

The Victor 1400-0160 Tapping Bolt is a specialized fastener designed to meet the rigorous standards of Victor Technologies' industrial equipment. Engineered with a 5/16-18 UNC thread pitch and a total length of 2.0 inches, this bolt is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of your welding or cutting apparatus. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, it guarantees a level of precision and material quality that generic hardware store alternatives cannot match. In high-vibration environments typical of industrial cutting and welding, using the correct fastener is essential to prevent loosening, misalignment, or damage to threaded housings.

This bolt features a robust hex head design, allowing technicians to apply the necessary torque for a secure hold using standard socket or open-end wrenches. The "tapping" designation often indicates a fully threaded shank or specific thread-forming capabilities designed for the mating part, ensuring maximum engagement and holding power. Constructed from durable steel, it offers resistance to shear forces and tensile stress encountered during daily operation. Whether you are performing routine maintenance on a track burner, a regulator assembly, or a mechanized cutting system, this bolt restores the factory specifications of your device.

Maintenance professionals understand that the longevity of industrial machinery often comes down to the smallest components. A compromised bolt can lead to rattling assemblies, loss of precision in cutting paths, or even safety hazards if a housing becomes loose. By choosing the Victor 1400-0160, you are investing in the reliability of your equipment. This part is sourced directly from the manufacturer, ensuring that the metallurgy and dimensional tolerances align perfectly with the engineering requirements of your Victor tools.

Technical Specifications

The bolt utilizes a standard coarse thread (18 threads per inch) on a 5/16-inch diameter shaft. The 2-inch length provides ample reach for securing thick flanges or passing through multiple assembly layers. It is supplied as a single unit, ready for immediate installation. When replacing hardware on precision gas apparatus, always verify the part number to ensure compatibility and safety.
