What Size Nylon Screw?

[Tremelle]

I purchased a slightly used TS-24 kit a couple of weeks ago. I have finally gotten around to installing it in my tank. The kit came with the magnetic tank mounts. I noticed the nylon screws that are used in the pivot mount arm are missing. I am trying to find 2 replacement screws, but do not know the size. Can someone tell me what size screw I need? It is the screw that attaches the Stream extension arm to the mount pivot, that allows you to position the Stream and then tighten it in that positon. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Their isn't one. The screws are only for the 6200 and require a threaded 6200.23 (threaded version of 6080.23), you could come up with something yourself at any home improvement store if you feel it is necessary but in general the smaller pumps only need to have the teeth firmly meshed together.

After viewing my 6100s carefully, the teeth can not mesh. The teeth on the pump mount extension are on the top, as well as the teeth on the bracket mount. There is no way to mount the extension upside down for the teeth to mesh. So I bought a 1 1/2" long x 1/4" wide nylon screw. I then put a 5/16" washer on the head. I then ran the screw into the extension and bracket hole. Another 5/16" was then put on the screw followed by a 1/4" hex nut. I all worked perfectly. It is tight enough, and it still allows for adjustments without having to loosen the nut. Here is a pic of it assemblied and mounted on the magnetic mounts.

You have it mounted upside down. The pump should be suspended under the bracket.

What would support the pump and keep it from falling off of the pivot post?

The post is correct, the pump should hang down under the slide piece though and not sit over it.
