Product details
The Pentair 071652Z is the impeller set screw used on select Pentair pool pumps. It is 1/4-20 by 1 in. with a Phillips head and, importantly, a left hand thread.
The left hand thread
This screw loosens clockwise. Pump impellers spin in a direction that would back a normal screw out, so the thread is reversed to keep it tight. Anyone who does not know that ends up cranking the screw harder into the impeller and rounding out the head.
What it holds
The set screw locks the impeller onto the motor shaft. If it works loose the impeller can spin on the shaft and the pump loses flow, so it is worth fitting a fresh screw whenever the impeller comes off rather than reusing a worn one.
Fitment
It is used across a number of Pentair pumps, including IntelliFlo VS 3050 and VF models and WhisperFlo WF and WFE models.
