Product details

This is the Sta-Rite eyeball inlet assembly, part 08428-0001, in white and sized 1-1/4 inch. It is the gunite version, the inlet that sits in the wall of a concrete pool and carries filtered water back into it.

What the eyeball does

The ball swivels inside the fitting, so the return stream can be aimed. That matters more than it sounds: pointing returns away from the skimmer and toward the corners is how a pool gets even circulation instead of a warm, still patch at one end. A cracked or seized eyeball loses that adjustment, and a missing one lets the return blast straight out at whatever is in front of it.

Numbers to watch

The same fitting appears under two numbers. 08428-0001 is the one carried now, while older paperwork and Swimquip era parts lists show it as 8428-7. If your diagram gives one and your invoice gives the other, they point at this fitting.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What size is this inlet?
1-1/4 inch.
Which part number is correct, 08428-0001 or 8428-7?
Both are used for this fitting. 08428-0001 is the number carried today and 8428-7 is the older Swimquip number, so match whichever appears on the part or diagram you are working from.
Is this the eyeball on its own?
No. It is supplied as the eyeball inlet assembly.
Will it work in a vinyl liner pool?
It is listed for gunite. On a vinyl liner pool, check the wall fitting you already have before ordering, because the liner style return is a different part.
