It is the piece that carries the skimmer throat from the buried body up to the finished deck level, where the lid and collar sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the extension matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA skimmer body is set at whatever depth the shell and the plumbing dictate, and the deck is poured on top of it. The throat extension is what closes that gap. If the extension has cracked, distorted or been cut short during a rebuild, water works its way out behind the skimmer instead of down the throat, and the ground around the skimmer stays wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe part arrives as a complete assembly rather than loose components. It is made for the Baker Hydro Hydropak skimmer, so confirm your skimmer body before ordering if the pool has had a mixed set of parts fitted over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Hydro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48628833255636,"sku":"BAK-251-1547","price":117.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_04603fa0-e4cb-40bf-afb6-aaf380e10bd8.gif?v=1788753660","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/throat-extension-assembly","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
