SRS 14' Commercial Frontier III Board, Marine Blue (Matching Tread)

The S.R. Smith Part Number 66-209-6143T designates a 14-Foot Commercial Frontier III Diving Board in Marine Blue with Matching Tread (often listed as Marine Blue / Matching Tread with factory hardware/trim package).

This configuration combines S.R. Smith’s maximum-length commercial fiberglass/laminated-wood springboard with a uniform Marine Blue aesthetic, integrating the non-slip traction aggregate directly into a color-matched gelcoat rather than using a contrasting white runner.

Part Number Breakdown & Configuration

• 66-209: Commercial Frontier III Series (18" nominal width, heavy-duty commercial wood core).

• 614: Board nominal length (14'-0" / 168 inches / approx. 4.27 m).

• 3: Color code for Marine Blue.

• T: Matching Tread specification (uniform color across the entire board surface and aggregate traction zone).

Construction & Material Architecture

• Internal Laminated Wood Core: Multi-ply laminated Douglas fir and select composite wood core running the full 14-foot length to evenly distribute flexural stresses and resist structural fatigue under high-cycle public pool traffic.

• Fiberglass Roving Encapsulation: Multi-layered structural fiberglass roving vacuum-infused with premium polyester resin, creating a watertight envelope that protects the core from delamination, chemical softening, and fungal rot.

• Color-Matched Non-Slip Surface: Factory-molded aggregate non-slip surface in uniform Marine Blue, providing high-traction wet footing that complies with commercial public pool safety standards without contrasting white tread strips.

• UV & Chemical Resistance: Formulated with high-grade UV inhibitors and chemical-resistant outer resins to resist sun bleaching, surface chalking, chloramine fog hazing, and mechanical room acid splash degradation.

Dimensional & Mounting Specifications

• Nominal Length: 14'-0" (168 inches / approx. 4.27 m).

• Nominal Width: 18 inches (approx. 45.7 cm).

• Profile / Taper: Progressive thickness taper (approx. 1.5" at the tip to 2.50"–2.75" through the fulcrum contact zone) engineered for 14-foot flex leverage.

• Mounting Configuration: Standard commercial 2-hole rear butt-end pattern:

  • Hole Center-to-Center Spacing: 12 inches (30.5 cm).

  • Hole Diameter: Pre-drilled for 1/2" diameter heavy-duty commercial mounting bolts.

• Specified Fulcrum Setting (Critical): Must be installed with the fulcrum positioned strictly within the manufacturer-calibrated range—centered 72 to 76 inches (nominally 74 inches) forward from the center of the rear mounting holes. Deviation alters spring stiffness, risks laminate shear failure, and voids manufacturer warranties.

• Duty Rating: Commercial recreational classification; maximum single-diver weight capacity of 250 lbs (113.4 kg) under standard commercial aquatic codes.

Stand Compatibility & Installation Hardware

• Compatible Stands: Engineered for commercial cantilever frames, steel pedestal stands, U-frame bases, and meter stands specifically configured and spaced for 14-foot boards (e.g., S.R. Smith Steel Meter Stands, Frontier II/III commercial frames, and Econoline 14' stands).

• Fulcrum Interface: Requires a heavy-duty rubber fulcrum pad (1.90" to 2.375" OD rubber sleeve or clamp-on elastomer pad) secured over the stand fulcrum bar to absorb cyclic impact energy and eliminate fiberglass stress cracks.

• Associated Mounting Kit: Compatible with S.R. Smith Hardware Kit BK-100 or stainless steel commercial mounting bolt sets (1/2" × 4-1/2" or 1/2" × 5" grade 304/316 bolts, neoprene isolator washers, lock washers, and brass or stainless acorn caps).

Weight and Logistics Profile

• Net Unit Weight: Approximately 82 to 95 lbs (approx. 37.2 to 43.1 kg).

• Packaged Dimensions: Heavy-duty reinforced corrugated shipping sleeve measuring approximately 170" L × 20" W × 4" H (approx. 432 cm × 51 cm × 10 cm).

• Packaged Shipping Weight: Approximately 100 to 115 lbs (approx. 45.4 to 52.2 kg).

• Freight Classification & Logistics: Ships exclusively via LTL Freight (NMFC Class 70 to 85). Because crate length exceeds 14 feet, carriers mandate specialized overlength handling and liftgate/flatbed commercial delivery protocols.
