Product Description
Hardy 1334268 10 BA x .125 Screw
The Hardy 1334268 (10 BA x .125) Screw is a specialized precision fastener used in the assembly of high-end Hardy fly reels. Utilizing the classic British Association (BA) thread standard, this screw is designed for fine-scale mechanical applications where a secure, low-profile fit is required.
This specific screw is commonly utilized to secure internal components such as check work housings, latch plates, or spring retainers within the reel frame. As a genuine Hardy replacement part, it ensures the structural integrity of your reel remains intact, preventing the loosening of critical parts due to the vibrations of the click-and-pawl mechanism.

Key Features
-
Precision BA Threading: Engineered to the exact 10 BA pitch required for Alnwick-manufactured reel frames.
-
Low-Profile Head: Designed to sit flush or sub-flush, ensuring no interference with the rotating spool or moving pawls.
-
Marine-Grade Durability: Built to withstand the humid and damp environments typical of trout and salmon fishing.
-
Authentic Replacement: Ensures the proper torque and seat that generic hardware cannot provide.
Maintenance & Lubrication
To prevent the screw from seizing due to "galvanic corrosion" (where two different metals meet) or salt buildup, we recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants during installation:
-
Anti-Seize Protection: Apply a small amount of Deuthlon Power Grease to the threads before driving the screw into the frame. This creates a waterproof barrier and ensures the screw can be easily removed for future servicing.
-
Surface Integrity: If the screw is used in a pivot area, a drop of Deuthlon Reel Gear Oil around the head can help shed water and prevent moisture from trapping underneath.
