1404-0105 - Victor Replacement Grooved Shear Pin .09 x .5 Inch

Precision Replacement Hardware for Victor Equipment

The Victor 1404-0105 Drive Pin is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Victor oxy-fuel cutting and welding apparatus. As a genuine OEM part, this grooved drive pin is engineered to meet the exact dimensional tolerances required for proper equipment function. Measuring 0.09 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in length, it serves as a vital mechanical fastener, often used in lever assemblies, pivot points, or as a shear pin within the torch body or cutting attachment. The grooved texture of the pin is a deliberate design feature intended to increase friction and retention once installed, ensuring that the pin remains securely in place even under the vibration and thermal expansion typical of welding and cutting operations.

Maintenance professionals understand that using non-standard or generic hardware in precision gas equipment can lead to mechanical slop, improper lever action, or even safety hazards. The 1404-0105 pin is manufactured from durable materials capable of withstanding the mechanical stresses applied during operation. Whether you are rebuilding a vintage Victor torch or performing routine maintenance on a modern cutting attachment, this pin restores the factory-original feel and reliability of the tool. Its specific shear properties also mean it is designed to fail safely under excessive load, protecting more expensive components of the assembly from damage.

Installation of the Victor 1404-0105 requires attention to detail, as the interference fit provided by the grooved surface ensures a tight seal and mechanical lock. This part is essential for workshops and industrial supply cribs that support welding fabrication teams, ensuring that downtime caused by minor mechanical failures is minimized. By choosing genuine Victor parts, you maintain the integrity of the UL listings and safety certifications associated with your gas equipment.

Technical Specifications and Application

This drive pin is identified by the internal SKU VIC1404-0105 and is compatible with a range of Victor product lines.
