SRS 14' Olympian Aluminum Board, White & Marine Blue

The S.R. Smith 14-Foot Commercial Olympian Aluminum Diving Board (White) (Part Number 66-209-514-2) is a heavy-duty, commercial all-aluminum springboard engineered for competitive dive wells, municipal aquatic facilities, military training centers, and high-demand commercial resort pools.

At 14 feet, this board provides extended pool overhang and a softer, more progressive mechanical flex than 10-foot and 12-foot models. Fabricated entirely from structural aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, it eliminates the maintenance liabilities of wood-core boards by being completely immune to moisture absorption, rot, and delamination.

Construction & Material Architecture

• Structural Extruded Aluminum Alloy: Precision-engineered from heat-treated, high-tensile 6000-series extruded aluminum, designed to withstand continuous high-amplitude cyclic loading without work hardening or loss of spring memory.

• Moisture & Core Decay Immunity: The all-metal construction contains zero wood, fiberglass resin laminates, or porous fillers, eliminating water logging, core rotting, mold, and freeze-thaw degradation during outdoor off-season exposure.

• Surface Traction & Finish: Treated with an electrostatically applied, baked-on white epoxy/powder-coat finish embedded with an aggressive, commercial-grade slip-resistant aggregate top tread for secure wet-deck footing.

• Atmospheric Resistance: Engineered to withstand severe natatorium chloramine vapors, high UV degradation, direct pool sanitizing chemicals, and coastal/saltwater marine environments.

Dimensional & Mounting Specifications

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

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

• 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 stainless steel mounting bolts.

• Specified Fulcrum Setting (Critical): Factory-calibrated fulcrum placement is centered 72 to 76 inches (nominally 74 inches) forward from the center of the rear mounting holes. Maintaining this fulcrum position preserves intended deflection mechanics and avoids structural over-stressing.

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

Stand Compatibility & Fulcrum Interface

• 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 14' Steel Meter Stands, Econoline stands, and commercial 2-bend or 3-bend tubular frames).

• Fulcrum Protection: 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 crossbar to prevent metal-on-metal abrasion, galling, and chatter during hurdle landings.

• Mounting Hardware: Installs with standard commercial mounting bolt sets (1/2" × 4-1/2" or 1/2" × 5" grade 304/316 stainless steel bolts, neoprene isolation washers to prevent galvanic corrosion, lock washers, and acorn nuts).

Weight and Logistics Profile

• Net Unit Weight: Approximately 72 to 84 lbs (approx. 32.7 to 38.1 kg)—substantially lighter than a 14-foot composite/wood-core board.

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

• Packaged Shipping Weight: Approximately 90 to 105 lbs (approx. 40.8 to 47.6 kg).

• Freight Handling: Ships exclusively via LTL Freight (typically NMFC Class 70 to 85). Due to the crate length exceeding 14 feet, carriers require specialized overlength handling and commercial dock/liftgate receiving.
