Product details

Hayward SPX0097E is the face plate gasket for the SP1096, SP1097 and SP1098 skimmers. It is the genuine Hayward part.

What it seals

On a vinyl pool the gasket sits between the skimmer throat and the face plate, with the liner clamped in between. That joint is the boundary between the pool water and the wall, so a gasket that has gone hard and taken a set is one of the most common causes of a slow, hard to trace leak behind the skimmer.

When to fit one

Any time the face plate comes off, whether for a liner change or a leak chase. The gasket costs a fraction of the labor to get back to it. Look at how many gaskets came off your skimmer before ordering, since installations differ, and replace the face plate too if it is cracked or distorted.

Questions and answers

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

Which skimmers does this gasket fit?
The product name lists the SP1097 and SP1098, and the fuller manufacturer information adds the SP1096. All three take this face plate gasket.
Where does it go?
Between the skimmer throat and the face plate, with the liner sandwiched between them on a vinyl pool.
Do I need one gasket or two?
That depends on how your skimmer was originally built. Look at what came off before you order, and buy to match.
Should I replace the face plate as well?
Only if it is cracked or distorted. The face plate is a separate Hayward part.
