Pentair 98202600z Flat Head Sealing Screw 0.25-20 X 1 in

Product Description

The PENTAIR 98202600z is an 18-8 stainless steel Phillips flat head sealing screw designed for use in pool and spa applications. Sized at 0.25-20 x 1 inch, this fastener provides a secure, corrosion-resistant seal where it counts most — in wet, chemically treated water environments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists the oxidation and chlorine exposure common in pool and spa systems. Pool service technicians and licensed plumbers install this type of hardware when servicing or replacing large stainless steel niches and skimmer assemblies.

This sealing screw is used in residential and commercial pool and spa installations, specifically with large stainless steel niches and skimmer components. It is a direct OEM replacement fastener intended for systems where a flush-mount, flat head profile is required to maintain watertight integrity at the fixture face. Typical install scenarios include niche cover attachment and skimmer faceplate fastening during routine maintenance or equipment replacement.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed pool service technician or plumber. Always shut off the pool circulation system and, where applicable, de-energize any associated lighting circuits before removing or replacing niche and skimmer fasteners. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver or bit driver sized appropriately for the fastener head to avoid stripping. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer instructions for watertight assembly at all wet-environment fixtures.
