Genuine Arcair Replacement Hardware

The Arcair 97-142-009 is a specialized replacement screw designed to maintain the integrity and functionality of your Arcair gouging torches. In the demanding environment of industrial metal removal and preparation, every component of your equipment plays a vital role. This screw features a standard 6-32 thread pitch and a 5/16-inch length, specifications that are critical for the proper assembly of specific torch components, such as handle casings or insulator blocks. Using the correct fastener ensures that your equipment remains safe to operate and free from loose parts that could impede performance.

Constructed with a plated finish, this oval head screw offers resistance against corrosion and oxidation. Welding and gouging environments are often filled with fumes, heat, and moisture that can degrade standard hardware. The plating on this Arcair screw helps prevent rust, ensuring that the screw can be easily removed during future maintenance sessions without seizing. The oval head design typically allows for a smooth, snag-free profile when installed in countersunk holes, preventing the fastener from catching on gloves or clothing during operation.

Regular maintenance of your Arcair K-series or similar gouging torches is essential for longevity. Small parts like the 97-142-009 are easily lost during field repairs or shop overhauls. Keeping a stock of genuine Arcair hardware ensures that you can quickly reassemble your torch and get back to work without resorting to mismatched hardware that might damage threads or compromise the tool's insulation. Trust in genuine Arcair parts to deliver the fit and durability required for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Whether you are replacing a worn-out screw or reassembling a torch after cleaning, this specific fastener provides the exact dimensions required by the manufacturer. Avoid the hassle of guessing thread pitches at the hardware store and rely on the OEM part designed specifically for your Arcair equipment.
