Hayward SPX1085BDGR Wide Mouth Skimmer Face Plate (Dark Gray) – SP1085/SP1077
Hayward SPX1085BDGR is a genuine replacement wide mouth skimmer face plate in dark gray, designed for compatible Hayward automatic skimmers. The face plate secures the skimmer opening at the pool wall and helps provide a clean, properly aligned seal and opening for dependable skimming performance (model and pool-wall type dependent).
Key Features

- Brand: Hayward
- Type: Skimmer face plate (wide mouth)
- Color: Dark Gray
- Pool Type: In-ground (common listing)

Common Compatibility (Verify Before Ordering)
- Hayward automatic skimmer model: SP1085

Common Reasons to Replace
- Cracked or brittle face plate from age/UV exposure
- Warping that prevents the plate from seating evenly
- Stripped screw holes or damaged edges that won’t clamp/seal correctly
- Replacement during liner/skimmer service to refresh hardware and sealing surfaces
Installation Notes
- Confirm your skimmer model (SP1085/SP1077) and match color and face plate style before ordering.
- For vinyl liner applications, replace gaskets as needed and tighten screws evenly in a crisscross pattern.
- Do not overtighten screws into plastic—snug and even is best to avoid cracking or stripping.
- If the skimmer body is cracked or the screw inserts are stripped, the skimmer body/kit may require repair or replacement.

Maintenance Tips
- Keep water level in the recommended range so skimming works efficiently and the skimmer isn’t starved for flow.
- Inspect face plates and screws seasonally for cracking, loosening, or corrosion.
- Replace gaskets whenever the face plate is removed to help prevent seepage behind the wall/liner.
