Hayward SP1107 Skim-Vac Vacuum Plate – 1½″ Adapter
Part # SP1107 — a Hayward replacement vacuum plate designed to fit select in-ground skimmers. This plate allows a standard 1½″ hose to connect quickly to the skimmer basket, enabling pool vacuuming using the skimmer line instead of the pump strainer or dedicated port.
Key Features
- 1½″ straight adapter for vacuum hose connection.
- Fits compatible skimmer baskets and housings, replacing older vacuum plate assemblies.
- Constructed from durable ABS plastic, designed to provide a secure seal over the skimmer basket.
- Simple drop-in installation — remove old plate and replace with this unit to restore vacuum-plate capability.
Typical Applications
This vacuum plate is ideal when the existing skimmer cover adapter is cracked, missing, or allowing bypass of the vacuum hose, or when the homeowner wishes to use the skimmer line to perform manual vacuuming. It’s often used during pool cleaning setup or as part of skimmer maintenance.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Turn off pump and relieve system pressure before replacing the vacuum plate. Remove the skimmer cover and basket, clear debris from the basket area, then install the SP1107 plate ensuring it seats properly on the basket rim. Replace the basket and cover, connect the vacuum hose and verify that no air is being drawn around the plate edge during vacuuming.
Why Choose This Plate?
Using a genuine Hayward SP1107 ensures that the plate fits correctly in supported skimmer models and provides reliable vacuum hose performance. A properly seated vacuum plate minimizes bypass air entry, stabilizes suction, and helps maintain efficient water flow during cleaning.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the vacuum plate annually for cracks, deformations, or wear in the adapter port.
- Ensure the skimmer basket is properly seated and free of obstruction to guarantee a tight seal under the plate.
- If the vacuum hose slides out too easily or air bubbles appear near the plate edge, reconsider the plate seating or replace it.
- When installing a new liner or replacing the skimmer basket assembly, verify that the plate remains level and flush with the basket rim.
