Hayward SCREW SET

The Hayward Screw Set is a specialized hardware kit designed to provide the essential clamping force required to secure major components, such as the filter head or motor assembly, to the main body of pool equipment. Typically manufactured from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant stainless steel or zinc-plated alloy, these screws are engineered to withstand significant hydraulic pressure and mechanical vibrations without stretching, stripping, or shearing. Their primary mechanical function is to ensure a uniform, airtight, and watertight seal across gaskets and flanges, which is critical for maintaining system pressure and preventing hazardous leaks. The set often includes matching washers to help distribute torque evenly, preventing damage to the plastic or composite housings of the filter or pump during tightening. Designed for longevity in harsh environments, these fasteners are highly resistant to oxidation and the corrosive effects of salt-water and chlorine exposure. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Screw Set is approximately 0.42 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the hardware components themselves is roughly 0.28 pounds.
