About This Item
The Pentair Sealing Screw (98202600) is the OEM replacement 1/4-20 x 1-inch Phillips flat head sealing fastener for Pentair Large Stainless Steel Lighting Niches and Admiral Skimmer assemblies. This screw is sold individually.
IMPORTANT: QUANTITY NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION
Most Large Stainless Steel Lighting Niche installations require 8 screws per niche. This listing is for one (1) screw. Order the correct quantity before beginning your service.
IMPORTANT: ADMIRAL SKIMMER DATE RESTRICTION
This screw fits the Admiral Skimmer on units manufactured before February 1, 1976 only. Verify your skimmer's manufacture date before ordering if purchasing for an Admiral Skimmer application.
This Phillips flat head sealing screw secures the faceplate or mounting ring to the niche or skimmer body, maintaining a watertight seal at the installation point. It is dimensioned specifically for the 8-hole pattern on Pentair Large Stainless Steel Lighting Niches and mates with the compatible liner sealing ring. Replacing worn or corroded screws restores proper clamping force and prevents water infiltration behind the fitting.

Poolaroo Pro Tip
When replacing these screws, inspect the liner sealing ring and niche gasket at the same time. Corroded or missing screws are often the first sign of a failing seal assembly. Apply a small amount of marine-grade anti-seize compound to the threads before installation to prevent galvanic corrosion and simplify future removal — a common oversight that turns a simple screw replacement into a difficult extraction job.
