229171 - Miller 229171 Replacement Screw 6-32 x 0.37 Hex Washer Head

Genuine Miller OEM Replacement Hardware

The Miller 229171 Screw is a specialized machine fastener designed specifically for Miller Electric welding equipment. As a genuine OEM part, this screw ensures that maintenance and repair operations maintain the integrity of the original machine assembly. Utilizing non-standard or generic hardware in precision welding equipment can often lead to thread mismatch, corrosion issues, or insufficient clamping force. This component is manufactured to Miller's exact engineering standards, providing peace of mind for technicians and equipment managers alike.

This specific fastener features a 6-32 thread pitch, a common standard in electronics and industrial machinery, with a length of 0.37 inches. The head style is a Hex Washer Head (Hexwhd), which combines a hexagonal drive for high-torque tightening with an integrated washer face. This design eliminates the need for a separate washer, streamlining assembly and providing a larger bearing surface to distribute load and prevent damage to the mating surface. The "Pln Pld Black" designation indicates a plain, plated black finish, likely black oxide or zinc black, which offers a degree of corrosion resistance and blends seamlessly with the black chassis components often found on Miller power sources and wire feeders.

Industrial maintenance teams rely on accurate bills of materials to keep downtime to a minimum. Stocking the correct Miller 229171 screw ensures that when a machine is opened for service—whether for board replacement, fan cleaning, or panel removal—the reassembly process is smooth and secure. This screw is typically used to secure sheet metal panels, internal brackets, or electrical components where a secure, vibration-resistant connection is required. By choosing OEM parts, you ensure the longevity and reliability of your capital equipment.
