1401-0072 - Victor 1401-0072 Steel Set Screw 6-32 x 1/4 Cup Point

Genuine Victor 1401-0072 Replacement Set Screw

The Victor 1401-0072 is a precision-engineered set screw designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Victor oxy-fuel welding and cutting equipment. As a genuine OEM component, this fastener ensures that your tools continue to operate within the manufacturer's strict safety and performance tolerances. Constructed from high-grade steel, this set screw offers the durability required to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, providing a secure and lasting hold for critical assembly components.

Featuring a standard 6-32 UNC thread and a length of 0.25 inches (1/4 inch), this screw is tailored to fit perfectly into designated ports on Victor torch handles, regulators, or cutting attachments. The headless design allows the screw to sit flush with or below the surface of the component, preventing any protrusion that could snag on gloves or interfere with the operation of the tool. This flush installation is critical in ergonomic equipment where smooth surfaces are necessary for comfortable handling during extended welding or cutting sessions.

The defining feature of this fastener is its cup point tip. The cup point is the most popular style of set screw point because it provides excellent holding power. The thin edge of the cup digs into the contact surface of the mating part—usually a shaft or an internal tube—creating a physical barrier against rotation or axial movement. This biting action is essential in gas equipment where vibration or thermal expansion could otherwise cause components to loosen over time. By using the Victor 1401-0072, technicians can be confident that their equipment repairs are secure and reliable.

Maintenance professionals understand that substituting generic hardware in specialized gas equipment can lead to fitment issues or premature failure. This genuine Victor part eliminates those risks. Whether you are replacing a stripped screw during a routine overhaul or repairing a damaged unit, this steel set screw provides the exact specifications required. Its internal hex drive allows for high torque application using a standard Allen wrench, ensuring a tight fit without stripping the head.
