Hayward SPX1084P – Round Extension Collar for Auto-Skim Skimmers
The Hayward SPX1084P is a round extension collar designed to work with the Hayward Auto-Skim series of inground pool skimmers. The collar raises the skimmer faceplate to allow for deeper deck, coping or paver installations — ensuring the skimmer mouth remains at proper waterline height even when the deck is raised.
Key Features
- Round extension collar — adds extra height so skimmer faces can sit flush with raised deck or paver coping.
- Compatible with SP1082 / SP1083 / SP1084 / SP1085 / SP1086 Auto-Skim model skimmers.
- Constructed from pool-rated ABS/PVC — chemical- and weather-resistant for long service life.
- OEM-grade part — ensures proper fit with stock skimmer faceplate and throat assembly.

When to Use
Install SPX1084P when adding a deck, coping, paver, or other deck build-up around a pool with a stock Auto-Skim skimmer — especially if the original skimmer mouth would end up below or too close to deck level. The collar ensures proper skimmer positioning, helping maintain correct waterline suction for surface skimming and preventing debris bypass or skimmer inefficiency.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Turn off pump and stabilize water level before installing. Remove faceplate and existing collar (if any) first.
- Slide the SPX1084P collar onto the skimmer throat, then re-install the faceplate and cover, ensuring proper alignment and seal.
- Ensure skimmer throat remains properly submerged — too high and skimming performance may degrade, too low and debris may bypass.
- Inspect for cracks or degradation annually — UV, freeze/thaw, or chemical exposure may accelerate wear. Replace if collar shows signs of stress or leaks.
Why Keep SPX1084P in Inventory
Because deck upgrades and paver installations often change skimmer height, having the SPX1084P extension collar in stock lets you quickly retrofit existing pool skimmers without replacing the entire skimmer body — a simple, cost-effective solution for pool remodels or maintenance jobs.
