Swimming Pool Diving Board Replacement Parts

Keep your diving board and pool slide safe and performing correctly with genuine diving board replacement parts from SR Smith — the leading manufacturer of residential and commercial pool diving equipment. PST Pool Supplies stocks the most common service parts including bolt kits, fulcrums, mounting pads, nozzles, and pool slide hose kits, with prices starting from $18.

The most frequently replaced diving board components are mounting hardware and spring assemblies. SR Smith's stainless steel bolt kits (2-hole mounting) provide corrosion-resistant fastening for both standard and commercial 18"-wide board installations. The assembled fulcrum — the pivot mechanism that gives a diving board its spring — should be inspected annually for wear and replaced when it no longer returns smoothly to position or shows cracking. The rubber mounting pads (SR Smith, 16-3/4" for 18" boards) cushion the board-to-stand connection and prevent vibration damage over time — they harden and crack with age and UV exposure. The 606/608 spring bolt kit is the correct replacement hardware for SR Smith's 600 series diving board stands. For pool slides, SR Smith Frontier II and Frontier III hose kits provide the water supply lines that keep slide surfaces wet and safe. Nozzle assemblies (55-degree bottom nozzle) control water spray pattern and pressure. For complete diving boards and stands, see SR Smith's official product catalog.

Diving board hardware maintenance is important for both performance and safety. Corroded or worn mounting bolts can cause boards to shift under load — inspect all fasteners annually and replace any showing rust, elongation, or thread damage. Rubber mounting pads that have hardened beyond compression should be replaced before the next swimming season. When replacing spring components, always use manufacturer-specified replacement hardware — spring assemblies are load-rated to the board length and weight capacity, and substituting non-OEM components voids the manufacturer's warranty and may create a safety hazard. Per APSP diving equipment guidelines, all diving board installations must comply with local building codes and pool depth requirements. Contact your pool professional if you're unsure about the safe operating condition of your diving equipment.

Shop diving board replacement parts and keep your pool's diving equipment safe, secure, and ready for the season.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my diving board's fulcrum needs to be replaced?
A fulcrum is the pivot assembly that allows the board to flex and spring. Signs it needs replacement include: the board doesn't spring back to its resting position smoothly after use; you hear creaking or grinding when the board flexes; the fulcrum housing shows visible cracks, corrosion, or physical damage; or the board feels "dead" with reduced spring response compared to when it was new. The fulcrum position can also be adjusted — most SR Smith fulcrums slide along a track beneath the board to increase or decrease spring force (moving it toward the tip increases spring). If adjustment doesn't restore adequate spring performance, the fulcrum assembly itself needs replacement. Fulcrums are model-specific — always match the replacement to your diving board model.
How often should diving board mounting hardware be replaced?
Diving board mounting bolts and hardware should be visually inspected at the start of every swimming season and replaced at the first sign of corrosion, elongation, or thread damage. In saltwater or coastal environments, even stainless steel hardware may show surface rust within 3–5 years and should be proactively replaced. The rubber mounting pads that sit between the board and the stand typically last 5–8 years before they harden and lose their cushioning ability — hardened pads transmit vibration directly to the board-to-stand joint, accelerating hardware wear. A complete hardware replacement (bolts, washers, and pads) every 5–7 years is a reasonable maintenance schedule for a residential diving board with normal seasonal use.
My pool slide is barely trickling water — what's wrong?
Low water flow on a pool slide is usually caused by one of three issues: a kinked or deteriorated supply hose, a clogged or damaged nozzle assembly, or insufficient water pressure from the supply valve. Start by checking the hose connection at the valve and the slide's water inlet — SR Smith Frontier II and III hose kits are the correct replacement for SR Smith slides and include all necessary fittings. If the hose is intact, remove and inspect the nozzle for debris or mineral scale buildup — scale can be cleared with a diluted acid soak (follow safety precautions). If neither resolves the issue, ensure the dedicated slide water supply valve (usually a 3/4" ball valve on the return line) is fully open and not partially closed.
What is the commercial mounting kit for an 18-inch wide board?
The commercial mounting kit for 18" wide boards with 12" hole centers is a heavy-duty hardware set designed for commercial pool installations (hotels, recreation centers, aquatic facilities) or for residential boards where extra load capacity and durability is required. It includes oversized, commercial-grade stainless steel bolts, backing plates, and all required hardware to mount an 18" wide diving board to a stand with 12" center-to-center hole spacing. Commercial mounting kits are also appropriate for pool owners replacing their standard residential hardware who want maximum longevity and corrosion resistance. Verify your stand's hole spacing before ordering — residential stands often use different hole spacing than commercial units.
