Restore your pool lighting integrity with the Swimables SW‑70‑355 316 Stainless Steel Pilot Screw with Captive Gum Washer. Specifically engineered to match the industry standard part 619355 (also known as 79104800), this premium screw fits seamlessly with popular Pentair-style pool lights—IntelliBrite, Amerlite, AmerQuartz, SAM, and related systems.
Crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, it offers exceptional durability and longevity in harsh chemical and wet conditions. The included captive gum washer ensures a reliable seal against water behind the lens, effectively reducing the risk of moisture ingress .
