Upgrade or replace your worn pool ladder steps with the S.R. Smith LTDF-103 Elite 20" Stainless Steel Pool Ladder Tread. Designed for durability and safety, this premium drop-in replacement tread is constructed from high-quality 304 stainless steel and features a non-slip black insert. Whether you are refurbishing a residential pool or maintaining a light commercial facility, this tread provides a stable, corrosion-resistant stepping surface that looks great and lasts for years.

🚩 PRO TIP

This listing is for the ladder tread only. Mounting hardware is not included. If you are replacing an existing tread, you can often reuse your current bolts. If you need new hardware, you will need to purchase the S.R. Smith 60-702 bolt kit separately. Always measure your existing rail mounting distance (center-to-center) to ensure it matches the 18-1/4" centerline requirement before ordering.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does the S.R. Smith LTDF-103 tread come with mounting bolts?

No, this item includes the ladder tread only. Mounting hardware (bolts, washers, and nuts) is sold separately. You can often reuse your existing hardware, or purchase a new bolt kit (S.R. Smith part number 60-702) if needed.

What is the distance between the mounting holes?

The LTDF-103 tread has an 18-1/4 inch centerline mounting distance. It is designed to fit standard 20-inch wide pool ladders.

Will this tread fit my non-S.R. Smith pool ladder?

It will fit most standard 20-inch wide inground pool ladders that use a bolt-through mounting system, provided the rails have an 18-1/4 inch center-to-center distance. Always measure your existing ladder before purchasing.

Is this tread suitable for saltwater pools?

This tread is made of standard 304 stainless steel. While highly corrosion-resistant for traditional chlorine pools, 304 stainless steel can rust in saltwater environments over time. For saltwater pools, marine-grade 316L stainless steel or heavy-duty plastic treads are generally recommended.

Are the black end caps included?

Yes, the tread comes with the black Cycolac plastic end caps pre-installed. These caps help secure the tread to the rail and protect the inside of the stainless steel tubing.
