Genuine Victor Replacement Hardware

The Victor 1400-0161 is a specialized Tapping Bolt designed to meet the rigorous standards of Victor industrial equipment. When maintaining high-performance oxy-fuel and welding apparatus, the integrity of every connection is paramount. This bolt features a 5/16-18 thread pitch, a common yet critical specification for structural assembly within Victor's product line. With a length of 1.5 inches, it provides the necessary reach and engagement depth to secure components effectively, preventing loosening due to vibration or thermal expansion common in welding environments.

Using genuine OEM parts like the 1400-0161 ensures that the material grade and dimensional tolerances match the original engineering specifications.

Whether you are refurbishing a cutting machine, repairing a torch handle, or servicing a regulator assembly, this bolt restores the factory-level security your equipment requires.

Industrial maintenance professionals understand that substituting hardware with generic alternatives can lead to mismatched thread engagement, corrosion issues, or mechanical failure. The Victor 1400-0161 is manufactured to resist the wear and tear of industrial settings, providing peace of mind that your equipment remains compliant and operational. Keep your Victor tools running at peak efficiency by choosing the correct replacement hardware designed specifically for the task.
