1401-0008 - Victor 1401-0008 Replacement Set Screw 1/4-20 x 0.75 Oval Point

Genuine Victor Replacement Hardware

The Victor 1401-0008 is a specialized set screw designed for the maintenance and repair of Victor oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component, this fastener is engineered to meet the exact dimensional tolerances and material specifications required by Victor Technologies. Using genuine parts is critical for maintaining the safety and operational integrity of gas apparatus, ensuring that all connections and assemblies remain secure during high-temperature and high-pressure operations.

This set screw features a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread pitch and measures 0.75 inches in length. It is manufactured with an oval point (OV AL PT), a specific tip geometry often chosen for its ability to hold parts in place without cutting into the mating shaft or surface as deeply as a cup point, while offering more contact area than a flat point. This design is particularly useful in applications where frequent adjustment might be necessary or where preserving the surface finish of the inner component is desired. The screw is constructed from durable steel, providing the necessary tensile strength to withstand the mechanical stresses typical in industrial environments.

Proper maintenance of oxy-fuel torches and regulators often involves replacing worn or lost hardware. The 1401-0008 serves as a direct replacement for lost or stripped screws in compatible Victor assemblies. Technicians and safety officers are advised to consult the specific equipment breakdown or parts manual to confirm compatibility before installation. Utilizing the correct fastener prevents cross-threading and ensures that the equipment remains compliant with manufacturer safety standards.
