Discontinued-See Extended Desc.

This Fleck zinc-plated screw, sized 6-32, is a discontinued individual part from Pentair that is still supplied within a Fleck service kit. The zinc plating adds valuable corrosion resistance, an important quality for fasteners used in and around water-treatment equipment where moisture and humidity are a constant presence. Sourcing it through the correct kit ensures you receive a genuine part with the protective plated finish fully intact rather than a bare fastener that may rust prematurely.

Corrosion-Resistant Fastening

Screws inside a control valve hold covers, brackets, and internal assemblies firmly in place, and they must endure years of service in a damp environment without seizing or failing. A zinc-plated finish helps these fasteners resist rust over time, which keeps connections secure and, just as importantly, keeps them easy to remove during future maintenance. A corroded, frozen screw can turn a simple, ten-minute repair into a frustrating ordeal, so starting with a fresh, properly plated fastener is well worth the small effort and cost.

To obtain this screw, order the listed service kit, which bundles the fastener together with related repair parts for a complete and convenient job. Confirm your valve model before purchasing so the hardware matches your specific control head and threaded locations. Keeping corrosion-resistant fasteners on hand makes routine valve service noticeably cleaner and faster, and it helps your softener or filter stay reliable and easy to maintain over the long term, since fresh plated hardware resists the rust that would otherwise complicate every future teardown and reassembly. Because this fastener is so inexpensive yet so important to a clean teardown later, many installers keep a small supply of plated screws in their kit, ensuring that corrosion never turns a quick cover-off inspection into a drilling-and-tapping headache down the road. A small detail, perhaps, but one that experienced service technicians never overlook when they want a repair to stay trouble-free for the long haul.
