Hayward SPX1085Z1AM Face Plate Screw Set (Self-Tapping) – Long Screws
Hayward SPX1085Z1AM is a genuine replacement self-tapping screw set used to secure skimmer faceplates on select Hayward in-ground skimmers. It’s ideal when the original screws are missing, corroded, stripped, or no longer tighten evenly—especially during liner work, gasket replacement, or skimmer faceplate service.

Common Reasons to Replace

- Faceplate won’t stay tight or leaks after reassembly (with good gaskets)

Installation Notes
- Tighten screws evenly in a crisscross pattern to help the faceplate seat flat.
- Do not overtighten into plastic—snug and even is best to avoid cracking or stripping.
- If screw holes are stripped or inserts are damaged, the skimmer body/faceplate hardware may require repair or replacement.
- For vinyl liner applications, replace gaskets whenever the faceplate is removed.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect skimmer faceplate screws seasonally for corrosion and replace any that show rust or damaged heads.
- Keep the pool water level in the recommended range to reduce skimmer stress and improve skimming performance.
- If seepage appears after service, recheck gasket alignment and even screw tightening before assuming a part failure.
