Description

This is the S.R. Smith stainless steel fulcrum bolt kit, part number 69-209-020-SS, listed for the 606 and 608. It supplies the fastener set at the fulcrum as a kit rather than as loose pieces.

Why the hardware wears out

The fulcrum is the pivot everything pushes against, so its bolts see load on every use while sitting in splash and chlorinated air year round. Fasteners there rust, gall or loosen long before the surrounding parts do, and replacing them is routine maintenance rather than a repair.

Use the right hardware

Stainless is specified here for a reason. Substituting plated hardware store bolts at a load bearing pivot is not a shortcut worth taking, and this kit puts the correct S.R. Smith stainless fasteners back in place.
