1400-0196 - Victor Replacement Machine Screw 1/4-20 x 0.62 Button Head

Genuine Victor Replacement Hardware

The Victor 1400-0196 Machine Screw is a critical replacement component designed for the maintenance and repair of Victor industrial equipment. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, this screw is engineered to meet the exact specifications required by Victor's high-performance oxy-fuel and welding assemblies. Utilizing genuine parts is essential for maintaining the safety certifications and operational efficiency of your tools.

Precise Dimensions and Fit

This machine screw features a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread pitch, a common fastening specification in industrial machinery, ensuring broad compatibility with corresponding tapped holes in Victor equipment housings. The length is precisely machined to 0.62 inches (approximately 5/8 inch), which is critical for ensuring full thread engagement without bottoming out or protruding into sensitive internal areas of the device. The "ST" designation indicates a steel construction, providing the necessary tensile strength to hold components securely under the vibration and thermal stress often encountered in welding environments.

Button Head Design

The fastener utilizes a button head profile. This design is characterized by a rounded top and a low profile, which is aesthetically pleasing and functional. In safety-critical equipment like torches and regulators, a button head reduces the likelihood of the fastener snagging on hoses, clothing, or other equipment. It typically utilizes an internal hex drive (Allen key), allowing for high torque application without cam-out, ensuring a tight and secure fit during assembly.

Application and Safety

Regular maintenance of welding and cutting equipment often involves the removal of housing covers or structural components to access internal parts for cleaning or repair. Screws can become stripped, lost, or corroded over time. Replacing them with the correct Victor 1400-0196 screw ensures that housings remain sealed against environmental contaminants and that structural rigidity is preserved. Using incorrect fasteners can lead to loose assemblies, potential gas leaks in pneumatic systems, or mechanical failure. Trust only genuine Victor parts for your repair needs.
