It sits in the splash zone of a chlorinated or salt pool, where a zinc-plated steel nut rusts solid within a season or two and then rounds off or snaps when someone tries to undo it. Brass keeps releasing. Substituting a hardware-store steel nut is a false economy that turns the next service into a drilling job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen To Replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe nut is seized, furred with corrosion, or has rounded off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe thread has picked up or stripped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReassembling a wet end and refreshing the fasteners as a set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFitting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnug, not gorilla-tight.
