Pentair #14 18-8 Stainless Steel Flat Head Screw

The Pentair #14 18-8 Stainless Steel Flat Head Screw (Product #: 192257) is a factory-original OEM replacement fastener engineered to provide high-tensile structural anchoring and corrosion-resistant joining for specialized swimming pool and spa equipment components. Commonly utilized to secure heavy-duty sub-assemblies, equipment faceplates, internal filter manifolds, and light niches across a wide range of Pentair filtration systems and deck accessories, this robust machine screw features a precision-formed countersunk flat head design that sits completely flush with the mating hardware surface to prevent snagging or turbulent flow patterns. Forged from premium 18-8 grade (Type 304) stainless steel, which contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, the fastener delivers outstanding structural yield strength and excellent resistance to rust and oxidation when continuously submerged in harsh pool water conditions. This specialized metallic matrix remains completely immune to chemical degradation from high chlorine or bromine shock treatments, salt-chlorine generation, and acidic pool environments, preventing localized thread binding or snapping over years of operational service. The physical dry weight of a single Pentair #14 Stainless Steel Flat Head Screw is approximately 0.015 pounds (roughly 0.24 ounces, with a typical packaged shipping weight of up to 0.10 pounds depending on specific retail bag or envelope packaging), providing pool technicians and DIY homeowners with an essential, marine-grade hardware standard to maintain absolute equipment structural integrity.
