Will this weir gate fit my Hayward skimmer?

Measure and match before you buy: the TonGass replacement measures 7 3/4 inches wide, 5 3/8 inches high, and 1 inch thick. It is manufactured for compatibility with Hayward part SPX1082K and the listed SP models, but always confirm the part number stamped on the back of your existing weir gate to ensure exact fit.

• Compatible with Hayward models SP1082–SP1086 and SP1075–SP1077 (verify part number).
• Aftermarket part built to mimic OEM form and function.

How durable is this TonGass replacement weir?

This weir is injection-molded from UV-resistant plastic formulated to resist sun damage and temperature extremes, which reduces cracking and brittleness over time. Its robust construction helps maintain a steady flap action and keeps larger leaves and debris from bypassing the skimmer.

• UV-stable material resists fading and breakdown in direct sunlight.
• Designed to withstand cold without becoming brittle.
• Longevity focused to reduce repeat replacements and maintenance costs.

Is installation difficult, and do I need special tools?

Installation is intentionally simple and tool-free—most pool owners can replace the weir in minutes. Remove the skimmer lid and basket, press down on the old weir to free the hinge pins, then slide the TonGass replacement into place until the pins click.

• No tools required—push-fit hinge pins for fast alignment.
• Accessible from the basket side; no pump shutdown needed in most cases.
• Instructions: remove lid, depress old weir, replace with new unit until it snaps in.

What role does the weir gate play in pool maintenance?

The weir gate helps control surface flow and directs floating debris into the skimmer basket where it can be removed. A functioning weir improves skimming efficiency, reduces load on the pump and filter, and helps keep pool water clearer between cleanings.

• Improves surface debris capture like leaves and bugs.
• Stabilizes water level and flow into the skimmer throat.
• Helps the skimmer basket and filter work more effectively.

Who is this for: Pool owners, maintenance professionals, and DIY technicians with Hayward-style skimmers who need an affordable, OEM-matching replacement weir. If your skimmer flap is warped, cracked, missing, or failing to seat properly, this TonGass weir gate is a practical repair piece that restores skimming performance without specialized parts or service calls. Always verify your existing part number and the skimmer model to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
