Victor 5/16-18 x 2 Inch Hex Head Tapping Bolt

Keep Your Victor Equipment Running Smoothly

When you are in the middle of a fabrication job, the last thing you need is a piece of equipment going down due to a stripped or missing bolt. The Victor 1400-0160 Tapping Bolt is the exact replacement part you need to get your Victor gear back in action. Sized at 5/16-18 x 2.0 inches, this hex-head bolt is built to the original factory specifications, ensuring it fits perfectly without binding or cross-threading. Don't risk damaging your expensive torches or cutting machines by forcing in a generic bolt that "looks close enough." Stick with genuine Victor parts for peace of mind.

This bolt is designed for the rough-and-tumble environment of a welding shop. Whether it's holding a motor mount on a cutting carriage or securing a protective cover, this fastener provides the clamping force needed to withstand constant vibration and heat. The hex head allows you to tighten it down securely with your standard shop tools, ensuring it stays put until you decide to take it off. It's a small part, but it plays a big role in the overall reliability of your setup.

Regular maintenance is key to extending the life of your tools. We recommend keeping a few of these common replacement bolts in your repair kit or parts bin. Having the right hardware on hand means you can fix a loose assembly in minutes rather than waiting days for a part to arrive. This specific bolt (Part # 1400-0160) is used in various Victor assemblies, making it a versatile spare for shops that rely on Victor technologies for their cutting and welding needs.

Why Choose OEM?

Using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts like this Victor bolt ensures that you maintain the safety and performance ratings of your equipment. Generic bolts may have different tensile strengths or slightly off-spec thread profiles that can damage the tapped holes in your machine's body. Protect your investment and ensure your crew's safety by using only the hardware intended for the machine.
