It is the genuine Pentair replacement fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the exact size matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFasteners on pool equipment are not generic. A screw that is too long bottoms out and cracks a housing, and one that is too short strips the last threads it does catch. Buying the part number the equipment was built with takes that guesswork out of the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStainless for a wet environment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEquipment pads sit in splash, humidity and chlorine vapor, and plated steel hardware in that environment corrodes into place. Stainless comes back out the next time. If the screw you are replacing rounded off under a driver, that is the corrosion telling you the whole set is due.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634795426004,"sku":"PUR-561-2786","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_5c841509-e767-4575-8b09-082dae6d0623.jpg?v=1788837633","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/machine-screw-8-32x1-2-phillips-stainless-steel","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
