260988 - Miller .375-16 x 13.250 Hex Washer Head Replacement Screw

Genuine Miller Replacement Hardware

The Miller 260988 Screw is a specialized fastener designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding equipment. This genuine OEM part features a .375-16 thread pitch (standard 3/8-16 coarse thread) and an exceptionally long shaft measuring 13.250 inches. It is engineered with a Hex Washer Head (HEXWHD), which combines a hexagonal drive for high-torque tightening with an integral washer flange. This design distributes the clamping load over a wider area, protecting the mating surface and eliminating the need for a separate loose washer during assembly.

When maintaining or repairing Miller welding power sources, wire feeders, or cooling systems, using the correct hardware is critical for structural integrity. A screw of this specific length is often used to secure main chassis components, transformer assemblies, or fan shrouds where standard hardware store bolts simply will not reach. The .375-16 threading ensures a tight, vibration-resistant bond when torqued to specification, preventing components from loosening during the heavy vibration often associated with industrial environments.

Choosing genuine Miller parts guarantees that the material grade and tensile strength match the original engineering specifications. Generic fasteners may lack the necessary shear strength or corrosion resistance required for the internal environment of a welding machine. This screw is manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring it threads smoothly into existing mounting points without binding or cross-threading. Whether you are performing a complete rebuild or replacing a damaged fastener, the Miller 260988 provides the reliability and fitment professional technicians expect.
