1400-0163 - Victor 8-32 x 1/2 Inch Steel Socket Head Cap Screw

Genuine Victor Replacement Hardware

The Victor 1400-0163 Cap Screw is a critical replacement component designed to maintain the integrity and functionality of your Victor welding and cutting equipment. When it comes to repairing industrial gas apparatus, precision is paramount. This socket head cap screw features an 8-32 thread pitch and a length of 0.5 inches, manufactured to the exact tolerances required by Victor Technologies. Using genuine OEM parts ensures that threads engage correctly without stripping and that the fastener provides the necessary clamping force to hold components securely during operation.

Durable Steel Construction

Constructed from high-quality steel, this cap screw offers the durability needed for industrial environments. Steel fasteners are essential for their high tensile strength, allowing them to withstand the vibrations and mechanical stresses often associated with welding and cutting operations. The socket head design is particularly beneficial in compact assemblies found in torches and regulators, as it allows for tightening with a hex key (Allen wrench) in spaces where a traditional wrench might not fit. This ensures you can achieve the proper torque specifications without damaging surrounding components.

Maintenance and Repair

Regular maintenance of your oxy-fuel equipment often involves inspecting and replacing worn or damaged hardware. A missing or stripped screw can compromise the safety of a device, potentially leading to leaks or mechanical failure. Keeping a supply of specific fasteners like the Victor 1400-0163 ensures that your shop can perform immediate repairs, minimizing downtime. Whether you are reassembling a cutting attachment, securing a regulator housing, or fixing a machine torch, this screw provides the reliability professionals expect from the Victor brand.

Compatibility and Application

This part is specifically identified by the SKU 1400-0163. While it is a standard size, it is designated for specific locations within Victor's product line. Always consult your equipment's exploded view diagram or parts list to confirm that this 8-32 x 0.5" screw is the correct part for your specific model. Trusting genuine Victor parts guarantees that your equipment remains compliant with original factory specifications.
