2062195 - ESAB Nylon Grommet Screw #8-#10 Replacement Part

High-Performance Nylon Fastening Solution

The ESAB 2062195 Grommet Screw is a specialized fastening component designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding equipment. Manufactured from high-grade nylon, this grommet screw serves a dual purpose: it provides a secure mechanical anchor for #8 and #10 screws while simultaneously offering electrical isolation between joined components. In the complex assembly of welding power sources and wire feeders, maintaining dielectric integrity is paramount. Using conductive metal fasteners in locations designed for nylon can compromise the machine's safety rating, create potential short circuits, or interfere with sensitive control electronics. This OEM part ensures that the original engineering specifications of the equipment are maintained during maintenance and repair cycles.

Nylon is chosen for this application due to its excellent balance of strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Unlike metal, nylon absorbs vibration, which is a constant factor in the operation of heavy-duty welding machinery. This vibration dampening characteristic prevents the fastener from backing out or cracking the surrounding panel work, a common failure mode with rigid metallic connections in high-vibration environments. Furthermore, the material is naturally resistant to corrosion and many industrial chemicals, ensuring longevity even in shop environments where exposure to oils, solvents, and atmospheric moisture is common.

For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals, utilizing genuine ESAB parts like the 2062195 is critical for ensuring equipment reliability. Generic substitutes often lack the precise dimensional tolerances required for a tight fit, leading to loose panels or rattling components. This specific grommet screw is engineered to expand correctly when the screw is driven in, creating a firm hold that resists pull-out forces. Whether you are refurbishing an older power source or replacing a damaged fastener on a newer unit, this component provides the assurance of factory-correct fit and function.

Installation is straightforward, requiring no special tools beyond a standard screwdriver appropriate for the mating screw. The grommet is inserted into the prepared hole, and as the #8 or #10 screw is tightened, the nylon body expands to lock the assembly in place. This mechanism is particularly effective for blind holes or panel mounting where access to the rear of the fastener is limited. By choosing the ESAB 2062195, you are investing in the continued safety and performance of your welding assets.
