Which Hayward outlet models will this cover replace?

The WGX1048E is compatible with a range of Hayward suction and dual-suction outlet part numbers used in floor installations. Confirm the existing outlet pattern and screw spacing before purchasing to ensure exact fit.

• Designed to fit WG1048AVPAK2, WG1049AVPAK2, WG1051AVPAK2, WG1052AVPAK2, WG1053AVPAK2, WG1054AVPAK2, and WG1030AVPAK2.

How durable and long-lasting is this replacement cover?

The cover is manufactured for regular pool-floor conditions and is rated for a typical service life when installed correctly and used only on floors. Materials and construction are chosen to resist routine exposure to pool chemicals and sunlight.

• Rated floor maximum suction: 125 gallons per minute (GPM) to align with outlet performance needs.
• Estimated in-use life: approximately 7 years under normal conditions.
• White finish resists visible discoloration and provides a clean, neutral look.

What are the installation and usage limits I should know?

Installation is straightforward when replacing like-for-like covers, but this part is specified for floor mounting only. Use with compatible Hayward outlet bodies and follow local codes and manufacturer instructions for safe operation.

• Intended for floor-only installation; not for wall or skimmer use.
• Single unit specification; sold individually to let you replace one cover at a time.
• Weighs approximately 5 pounds—handle carefully during replacement.

Will this cover affect my pool’s water flow or safety?

When matched to the correct outlet body and installed properly, the cover preserves the intended suction characteristics and maintains the finished appearance of the pool floor. It is not a suction-rescue device; always follow safety guidelines around pool drains and circulation equipment.

• Mating to original Hayward outlet bodies keeps flow performance consistent.
• Maintains a flush profile on the floor to reduce trip hazards and snagging.
• Check local regulations about anti-entrapment devices and combine with certified safety fittings as required.

Who is this for? Pool owners, maintenance professionals, and service technicians who need a direct, OEM-style replacement for worn or damaged Hayward suction or dual-suction floor outlet covers will find the WGX1048E suitable. It’s especially useful when preserving the original look and performance of Hayward outlet assemblies while meeting floor-only installation requirements.
