About This Item
The Pentair Grounding Screw (98204400) is the OEM replacement 10-24 x 1/2" grounding screw for Pentair Large Stainless Steel Light Niches.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: ELECTRICAL SAFETY — LICENSED PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED
Pool lighting components operate in wet environments. Installation must comply with NEC Article 680 and be performed by a licensed electrician. Do not service or replace grounding hardware without disconnecting power and following all applicable electrical codes.
This grounding screw provides the electrical bonding connection between the light niche assembly and the pool's bonding system. A properly secured grounding screw is essential for maintaining the equipotential bonding required by NEC Article 680 — a missing, corroded, or stripped screw compromises the entire bonding circuit. Replace any time the niche is opened for service or whenever the existing screw shows corrosion or thread damage.

Pro Tip
When servicing a light niche, inspect the grounding screw for corrosion or thread stripping before reassembly — a compromised screw cannot maintain a reliable bonding connection. Match the thread size (10-24) and length (1/2 in.) stamped or printed on your existing hardware before ordering. If the niche housing threads are damaged, the niche assembly itself will require evaluation before a replacement screw can restore a compliant bond.
