{"product_id":"1-1-4-long-screws-set","title":"Hayward Skimmer Face Plate Screw Set, 1-1\/4\" Long Self Tapping","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the Hayward SPX1085Z1AM screw set for a skimmer face plate. The screws are 1-1\/4 inches long and self tapping, which is how the original hardware was supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHayward lists this set on the in-ground skimmer parts breakdown. The face plate is the ring that clamps the liner or the gasket against the skimmer throat, and it depends on every screw being present and tight. One missing or stripped screw is enough to let the seal weep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the right screw matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFace plate screws live at the waterline, in and out of chlorinated water all season. Generic hardware of the wrong length either bottoms out before it clamps or runs through and out the back. Using the set Hayward specifies keeps the clamping load even across the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634537476308,"sku":"HAY-251-1938","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_31de79b2-d018-4f80-abef-38d0212392a3.png?v=1788834023","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/1-1-4-long-screws-set","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
