My pool has Jandy valves (grey PVC) with little black screws with knobs on the sides of them. I am seeing leakage around these screws, and some of them are clearly dissolving. Can someone tell me what these parts are called and where I can get them? Thanks.
Where do I Get a Black Plastic Screw for a Grey Jandy Valve?

Update: I figured out what this part is. It's a grease cup, Jandy #2133. Can someone tell me its purpose and how to use it? I I have ordered replacements.
You tighten the screw cup and it squirts grease into the valve.
You can just remove the whole assembly and use a 1/8" npt plug to plug the hole.
Polaris part number P20 is a 1/8" npt plug.

Thank you. Do you know what kind of grease I need?
These parts are very cheaply made, like other Jandy products I own.

It looks like I can buy a stainless zerk for about 1/8 of the price. I think that's the way to go, since the original plastic garbage was dissolved by chlorine and sunlight.
Best price I found for low-quality Jandy parts was almost $70 for 4 parts that should cost two dollars each. I found a whole box of stainless zerks for $13, and I also found a cartridge of Super Lube for my mini grease gun for $6.
The zerks will outlast my valves. Seems like the way to go.

Could be. I hate to drop $70 on low grade parts which are made to fail. If the zerks don't work, I can go back to the dissolving Jandy parts.
I can always use plugs and switch the zerks in when I feel like greasing the valves.
It's amazing how pool owners put up with garbage manufacturers.

I stuck zerks in the holes, and I got a mini grease gun and silicone grease. The system does not leak, and these zerks will last a hundred years.
