Product details
The 51B1016 is the forming frame for the Baker Hydro skimmer, a flat frame measuring 10.5" x 1.75". The same part number is also listed under the Waterco name, and it is the same frame either way.
What it is
The forming ring frame sets the finished shape of the skimmer throat opening. It is a structural piece rather than a wear part, which is why most people come looking for one only after a frame has been damaged or a skimmer is being fitted from scratch.
Before you order
Measure the frame you are replacing. Skimmer families differ, and 10.5" x 1.75" is the size that matters here. The frame is supplied by itself, so gaskets, baskets and lids are separate purchases.
