Genuine Miller Replacement Hardware

The Miller 176265 Bolt is a genuine OEM replacement carriage bolt designed specifically for Miller welding equipment. When maintaining high-performance industrial machinery, using the correct hardware is critical to ensuring longevity and safety. This bolt is manufactured to Miller's precise specifications, ensuring that it fits perfectly into the designated assemblies of your power source or wire feeder. Unlike generic hardware store bolts, this part guarantees the correct dimensional tolerances, material grade, and plating thickness required by the manufacturer.

This specific bolt features a .312-18 thread (standard 5/16-18 UNC) and a substantial length of 6.000 inches. It is constructed from Grade 2 steel, which provides a balance of strength and ductility suitable for general structural applications within the machine. The "PLD" designation indicates a plated finish, likely zinc, which offers a layer of protection against rust and corrosion—an essential feature for equipment that may be used in varied shop environments. The carriage bolt design, characterized by its smooth rounded head and square neck, allows the bolt to lock into place when tightened, preventing it from spinning during installation.
