173527 - Miller Socket Head Cap Screw, #8-32 x 1.50 Inch, Grade 8

Genuine Miller Replacement Hardware

Maintaining the structural integrity and mechanical reliability of your welding equipment is paramount to a safe and efficient workshop. The Miller Socket Head Cap Screw (#8-32 x 1.50 Inch) is a genuine OEM component designed to meet the rigorous standards set by Miller Electric. When repairing or servicing industrial machinery, every component plays a vital role. This specific screw features a Grade 8 rating, indicating a high tensile strength suitable for applications where stress and vibration are common factors. Unlike standard hardware store fasteners, Grade 8 bolts are engineered to withstand significant torque and load without shearing or deforming.

This fastener utilizes a socket head design, driven by a hex key (Allen wrench). This drive style is preferred in industrial equipment because it allows for higher torque application compared to Phillips or slotted drives, and it minimizes the risk of cam-out, which can damage the screw head or the surrounding surface. The 1.50-inch length provides ample reach for securing deep assemblies or attaching heavy components within the welder's chassis. The plain finish ensures there is no plating buildup to interfere with the precision of the threads, guaranteeing a tight and secure fit every time.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime is costly. Relying on authentic Miller parts ensures that your repairs are permanent and that your machine continues to operate within its factory specifications. Whether you are replacing a lost fastener during routine maintenance or performing a deeper repair on the internal assembly of your power source or wire feeder, using the correct part number ensures compatibility. This screw is identified by Miller part number 173527 and is sold individually, allowing you to order exactly what you need for your specific repair job.

Why Choose OEM?While it may be tempting to substitute generic hardware, the specific alloy and heat treatment of OEM parts like this Grade 8 screw are selected by engineers to handle the thermal cycles and mechanical vibrations unique to welding environments. Ensure your equipment remains compliant and safe by sticking to the manufacturer's parts list.
