Our Expert Verdict: Small Part, Big Impact

A worn, missing, or incompatible pilot screw is the most common cause of a loose or leaking Pentair pool or spa light. It is recommended that you inspect the pilot screw and light often to make sure your light is secure in the niche, otherwise it could lead to light failure. Also, pilot screws are inexpensive to replace and are an important part that keeps your light secure and sealed.

Expert Comparison For Generic Pilot Screws

Generic screws can appear to be a match, but they may have slight imperfections in length or thread pitch. This can lead to incorrect seating, stripped threads, or a loose seal for the light over time. However, Pentair manufactured the 79104800Z pilot screw to work with the exact specifications of their lights and light niches.

Pro Tip:

Pro Tip: Make sure to inspect the threaded screw hole of your light before you install replacement pilot screws. This is because there may be debris or calcium buildup that need to be cleaned out. Also, make sure to hand tighten the screw before using a electric screw driver and this will avoid cross-threading.
