Help me ID this skimmer model

[djdonte]

I need to ID this brand so I can purchase the stainless screws to secure this slimmer lid... my 2 year old suddenly thinks it’s a toy lol.

Find a bolt that threads in easily (fine thread is what I think they use) and then take to hardware store and pick out a SS screw in the proper size and head design (Phillips oval head) and thread pitch

Thanks that was plan B. I was going to goto Fastenal though because I find that a lot of the stainless the big box stores sell is low grade and will rust in chlorine/salt environments.

410 ss is the one that lightly rusts just make sure if you buy at any store that it’s 304 or 316. Our ace hardware only carries 304ss products (probably for that exact reason). Fastenal is a great idea as they have a much larger selection

All the ACEs around me are all but useless. The stuff HD/Lowe’s sells is mostly unlabeled. Haven’t checked with a magnet but I would guess it is some ferritic 400 series nonsense. I found a carbon screw that fits it’s just a little long. I’m going to visit fastenal and get something about 1/8 shorter in 316L.

Thanks man!

I ended up getting a 5 pack of #8-32 x 1" SS screws at HD. They wouldn't stick to a magnet so I'm hoping they are 300 series. The carbon screws I found in my garage were corroded from 1 day of being in there. I just need it to work long enough for my daughter to lose interest anyway.

Make sure that you're not storing any chemicals in the garage, such as acid or chlorine, that might be leaking fumes.
