Keep your oxy-fuel apparatus in peak operating condition with the Victor 1404-0008 Screw (Drive Rnd Hd #00 X1/8 Stl Zn). This is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, identical to the hardware used during the initial assembly of your Victor tools. In the world of gas welding and cutting, precision is not just a luxury—it is a safety requirement. This tiny but critical fastener is engineered to exact specifications, ensuring it fits perfectly into the designated assemblies of compatible Victor torches and regulators without forcing or cross-threading.
The 1404-0008 is manufactured from robust steel, chosen for its durability and resistance to shearing. To enhance its longevity, the steel is treated with a zinc coating. This zinc plating serves as a barrier against environmental elements, significantly reducing the risk of rust and corrosion. For equipment that is often transported between job sites, stored in trucks, or exposed to shop environments, this corrosion resistance helps prevent the screw from seizing in its bore, facilitating easier maintenance down the road.
With a #00 diameter and 1/8-inch length, this screw is typically utilized in fine assembly points. These may include securing nameplates, retaining internal valve components, or fastening small cover plates on regulator bodies and torch handles. The round head design offers a classic, clean profile that provides adequate bearing surface to secure parts without requiring a countersunk hole. Because thread pitch and diameter are critical in gas equipment—often made of softer brass or aluminum—using this correct steel screw prevents damage to the expensive main body of your tools.
Substituting generic fasteners in gas equipment is a risk that professional repair technicians avoid. The 1404-0008 guarantees that the metallurgy and dimensions align with Victor's safety protocols. Maintaining your equipment with genuine parts ensures that warranty conditions are met and that the tool performs as expected. Whether you are a certified repair shop or a welder performing your own maintenance, relying on the Victor 1404-0008 screw ensures your setup remains professional, safe, and ready for work.
