61356114 - ESAB 5/16-24 x 1 Inch Zinc Plated Replacement Screw

Genuine ESAB Replacement Hardware

The ESAB 61356114 is a specialized replacement screw designed to meet the rigorous standards of industrial welding equipment. Identified by the specifications SCR 19031 STLZPC 0.312-24X1.00, this component is critical for maintaining the assembly integrity of your ESAB machinery. The part features a 0.312-inch diameter, which corresponds to a standard 5/16-inch size, utilizing a 24 threads-per-inch (TPI) pitch. This Unified Fine (UNF) thread count provides higher tensile strength and better resistance to vibration loosening compared to coarse threads, making it ideal for the high-vibration environment of welding operations.

Material and Durability

Constructed from high-grade steel, this screw is engineered to handle the mechanical stresses typical of heavy-duty equipment. To ensure longevity, the steel is treated with a Zinc Plated Clear (ZPC) finish. This plating process deposits a layer of zinc on the surface, which acts as a sacrificial anode to protect the underlying steel from oxidation. In welding workshops where humidity, fumes, and temperature fluctuations are common, this corrosion resistance is vital for preventing seized fasteners and ensuring that future maintenance can be performed without drilling out rusted bolts.

Precision Fitment

Using non-OEM hardware can often lead to mismatched thread pitches or incorrect material grades, potentially damaging the tapped holes in your expensive equipment or failing under load. The ESAB 61356114 ensures a precise 1.00-inch length and correct thread engagement. Whether securing chassis panels, internal components, or accessory mounts, this screw restores your machine to its factory specifications. It is always recommended to consult your specific machine's parts breakdown or service manual to verify that part number 61356114 is the correct fastener for your specific repair location.

Installation and Maintenance

When installing this replacement screw, ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris. Because this is a fine-thread fastener, care should be taken to start the thread by hand to avoid cross-threading. Proper torque application is recommended to maximize the holding power of the 5/16-24 profile without over-stressing the head or the mating material. Keeping a stock of essential hardware like the 61356114 ensures minimal downtime when minor repairs are needed.
