Eshopps overflow question about screw

[yngwie111]

Hi, anybody know where I might be able to get a replacement for the long nylon screw that goes on the outside of the PF-800? (The screw that holds the overflow onto the aquarium wall) I've also seen some with steel screws instead, anyone happen to know the size of this screw so I can just look for it at HD? Thanks!

Lowes and HD have nylon screws in the drawers in their hardware sections.

Thanks and I figured they would, but I was just wondering what the dimensions of the screw was--or at least the diameter so I know which one to get

Idon't have an Eshopps overflow anymore but i think it was something like a 3/16" or 1/4" x maybe 1.5" if I remember correctly. I would probably be best to carry it in the store with you or if you don't want such a busy place maybe and Ace or True Value would be less crowded.

Good point, that's also what my lfs suggested but I figured I'd try a shot at r2r first before I cut off my sump and head to HD with my overflow but I guess that's the safest route to go. Thanks for the approx. dimensions, at least I have something to go by
