1400-0248 - Victor #8-32 x 0.375 Inch Socket Head Cap Screw Replacement Part

Victor 1400-0248 Replacement Cap Screw: #8-32 x 3/8" Socket Head

Don't let a missing or stripped screw put your welding torch out of commission. The Victor 1400-0248 Cap Screw is the exact replacement part you need to get your gear back in action. Designed by Victor Technologies, this screw is built to the precise specifications required for their line of oxy-fuel cutting and welding tools. When you are working with gas equipment, "close enough" isn't good enough. You need hardware that fits perfectly, holds tight, and stands up to the heat of the job site.

This specific fastener is a #8-32 thread screw with a length of 0.375 inches (3/8"). It features a socket head, which means you drive it with an Allen wrench (hex key). This drive style is superior for welding equipment because it resists stripping out better than Phillips or slotted screws, especially after repeated heating and cooling cycles. The internal hex drive also allows you to tighten the screw firmly without the tool slipping and damaging the surrounding finish of your torch or regulator.

Why buy OEM? Welding environments are tough. Your equipment gets dragged, dropped, and exposed to sparks and spatter. The Victor 1400-0248 is manufactured from durable materials designed to handle this abuse. It provides the clamping force necessary to keep housings secure and internal components aligned. Using the correct length screw is also critical; a screw that is too long might interfere with internal gas passages or mechanisms, while one that is too short won't hold securely. This part takes the guesswork out of repairs.

Keep a few of these in your repair kit or tool crib. It is a common size used across various Victor assemblies. Whether you are swapping out a damaged part or just tightening up a loose handle, using the original manufacturer's part ensures your warranty remains valid and your tool operates as intended. Get your Victor equipment fixed right the first time with the 1400-0248 Cap Screw.
