083147 - Miller Screw Grommet for .312 Square Hole

Miller 083147 Replacement Grommet for Welding Machines

The Miller 083147 Grommet is a specialized fastener component essential for the repair and maintenance of various Miller welding power sources and accessories. Identified as a "Screw Grommet" for No. 8 and No. 10 screws, this part is designed to snap into a .312-inch square hole in sheet metal or plastic panels. With a height of .500 inches, it provides a robust anchor point for screws, allowing for the secure attachment of cover panels, internal baffles, and electronic component mounts.

Over time, the original grommets in your welding machine can become brittle due to heat cycles, or they may be damaged during disassembly for service. A stripped or broken grommet means screws will no longer tighten properly, leading to loose panels and potential noise or vibration issues. Replacing these small but vital components with genuine Miller parts ensures that your equipment goes back together exactly as the engineers intended. The 083147 offers the correct material hardness and dimensional accuracy to grip the screw threads tightly without stripping out.

Technical Specifications

This grommet is engineered for specific tolerances. The square body design prevents the grommet from rotating in the hole when the screw is tightened, a common issue with round anchors. The .500-inch height ensures that it can accommodate standard screw lengths used in Miller equipment while providing sufficient shank length to pass through the mounting panel and secure the target component. It is compatible with a wide range of Miller industrial equipment; however, we always recommend checking your specific machine's breakdown using its serial number to ensure fitment.

Reliable Repair Solutions

Don't compromise your equipment's assembly with makeshift hardware store solutions. The Miller 083147 is built to withstand the industrial environment. Whether you are a technician performing a field repair or a shop owner maintaining your fleet, having the correct small parts on hand prevents downtime and ensures a professional repair job. This package contains one grommet, allowing you to order exactly the quantity needed for your repair.
