A set of fasteners specifically designed for securing a diving board to its supporting structure constitutes a crucial assembly for recreational swimming pools. These kits typically include bolts, washers, and nuts manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel to withstand the harsh environment of pool chemicals and constant moisture. An example would be a package containing four 3/8″ diameter, 3″ long stainless steel bolts, accompanied by matching washers and nylon lock nuts.
The integrity of the connection achieved with these components is paramount for user safety and the longevity of the diving board apparatus. Proper installation ensures a stable platform for divers, mitigating the risk of accidents and injuries. Historically, inadequate or corroded hardware has been a significant factor in diving board failures, underscoring the importance of regular inspection and replacement with appropriate grade components. The use of designated kits simplifies the replacement process and assures compatibility.
