Hayward SP1084FDGR – Auto-Skim Faceplate / Lid Assembly (Gray)
The Hayward SP1084FDGR is a replacement faceplate (lid) for certain Auto-Skim in-ground pool skimmers. It forms the top portion of the skimmer — sealing the skimmer throat at deck level and providing a removable cover for maintenance access to the basket and weir.
Key Features
- OEM-grade replacement lid/faceplate — designed to fit original skimmer body without modification.
- Durable ABS/PVC construction — resistant to pool chemicals, UV exposure, and everyday wear.
- Gray color to match many standard pool finishes and fit boards — suitable for retrofit or replacement projects.
- Provides secure sealing at the pool deck — helps prevent debris entry and ensures proper skimmer suction and flow.

When to Use / Replace
Replace the SP1084FDGR if the existing skimmer faceplate is cracked, warped, broken, or fails to seat flush with the deck — conditions that may lead to debris bypass, suction loss, or poor skimmer performance. Also install when remodeling or replacing deck coping to ensure a proper, flush finish.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Shut off the pump and lower water level below the skimmer throat if required before servicing.
- Remove the old faceplate carefully—then clean the skimmer throat lip and check for any cracks or damage to the skimmer body.
- Install the new cover, ensuring it sits flush with the surrounding deck or coping — check that the sealing lip aligns evenly and form-fit is tight.
- After installation, refill water to proper level and verify skimmer suction and basket alignment for proper operation.
- Inspect periodically for cracking or wear, especially if exposed to freeze/thaw cycles or heavy deck use. Replace promptly if damage is found.
