Victor #10-32 x 3/8 Button Head Socket Cap Screw

Victor 1400-0239 Button Head Cap Screw

The Victor 1400-0239 is a specialized replacement fastener designed for the maintenance of Victor gas cutting and welding equipment. As a #10-32 x 0.375-inch Button Head Socket Cap Screw, it serves as a critical component for securing assemblies where a low-profile head is required. This part is manufactured to Victor's strict quality control standards, ensuring consistent threading, head geometry, and material strength.

Technical Specifications

This screw features a #10-32 UNF (Unified National Fine) thread, which provides greater tensile stress area and better resistance to vibration loosening compared to coarse threads. The 0.375-inch (3/8") length is precise, ensuring the screw fully engages the mating threads without protruding excessively or bottoming out prematurely. The button head style features a rounded top and a hexagonal drive socket, allowing for high torque transmission while maintaining a sleek, snag-free exterior profile.

Material and Durability

Constructed from high-grade alloy steel, the 1400-0239 is built to withstand the harsh environments typical of welding shops and industrial sites. It offers excellent resistance to shear forces and wear. The socket drive is precision-broached to minimize the risk of rounding out the tool interface during installation or removal. This durability is vital for equipment that undergoes regular disassembly for cleaning or service.

Maintenance and Repair

Using the correct fastener is essential for the longevity of your tools. Mismatched screws can damage internal threads, leading to costly repairs or the need to replace entire sub-assemblies. The Victor 1400-0239 is the exact replacement for the original part, guaranteeing a hassle-free installation. It is suitable for use in specific Victor torch handles, regulators, and machine components where this specific size and head style are designated in the parts breakdown.
