Overview

The Latin Percussion LP914 is a purpose-built replacement height adjustment screw for the LP290B Double Conga Stand. The LP290B's height adjustment mechanism relies on a threaded screw to lock the stand's extension at a chosen position — holding the combined weight of two congas and their hardware in place through an entire performance. When that screw wears, strips, or is lost, the stand loses its ability to maintain height, making it functionally unusable for live or studio work. The LP914 restores that locking function with a part machined to LP's own tolerances for the LP290B's specific thread specification.

This part is essential inventory for working percussionists, drum techs, and schools or rental houses that maintain LP double conga setups. The LP290B is a widely used stand in live and studio contexts, and height adjustment hardware is the highest-wear mechanical component on any adjustable stand subjected to regular setup and breakdown cycles. Having the LP914 on hand — or ordering it at the first sign of screw wear — is straightforward preventative maintenance. It is not a universal fit for other stands, and it requires no special tools beyond what a standard hardware repair would involve.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

Exact OEM replacement ensures proper thread engagement with the LP290B adjustment collar without modification
Restores full height-locking function to a stand that has lost the ability to hold position under load
Sourcing directly from LP guarantees dimensional compatibility that generic hardware store screws cannot match
Low-cost repair extends the service life of the LP290B stand significantly
Small and lightweight — easy to carry as a spare in a hardware bag for touring percussionists

👎 Cons

Compatible exclusively with the LP290B Double Conga Stand — no cross-model utility
Does not address wear on the stand's threaded receiver, which may also need attention if the screw has stripped its housing
Sold as a single replacement screw — if your stand requires multiple hardware repairs, you'll need to source each part individually
No installation instructions are included, requiring the user to understand the LP290B stand's mechanism to complete the repair

Frequently Asked Questions

Which conga stand is the LP914 screw compatible with?

The LP914 is a direct replacement part specifically for the LP290B Double Conga Stand. Latin Percussion manufactures this screw to the tolerances of that stand's height adjustment mechanism — it is not a universal hardware fitting.

Will this screw fit other LP stands or third-party conga stands?

No. This is a model-specific replacement part for the LP290B. Thread pitch, diameter, and length are matched to that stand's adjustment collar. Attempting to use it on other LP stand models or third-party hardware risks cross-threading and stand failure.

What happens if the height adjustment screw is worn or damaged?

A worn or stripped screw prevents the stand from locking at a set height, causing the stand to slip under the weight of the congas during performance. Replacing the LP914 restores the locking mechanism to full function, keeping your drums stable and at the correct ergonomic position.

Is this screw made of metal or plastic?

Latin Percussion describes it as a quality replacement part consistent with their hardware standards. Based on the LP290B stand construction, the adjustment hardware is metallic, consistent with the structural demands of supporting a double conga configuration.

Can I order this screw as a preventative spare before mine fails?

Yes, and for gigging percussionists it is a practical decision. Height adjustment screws on stands used frequently for setup and breakdown are a known wear point. Having a spare eliminates the risk of a stand being unusable mid-tour due to a single failed hardware component.
