It measures 16.5 inches by 8 inches by 0.5 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the flange does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe face flange is the plate on the front of the skimmer. On a vinyl liner pool it is the clamping surface: the liner and gasket are pulled between the flange and the skimmer throat, and the screws through it make the seal. If it cracks, warps or loses a screw boss, the clamp is uneven and water begins working its way behind the liner at the skimmer, which is one of the most common leak points on a liner pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGetting the right one\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJacuzzi built the W Series in several variants, and the WL, WC and WB share a parts group. The source names the WB skimmer for this flange. If your skimmer is a different W Series variant, measure the flange you are removing against 16.5 by 8 by 0.5 inches before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhile it is off\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe faceplate gasket is a separate part. Since the flange has to come off to change either one, replace the gasket at the same time rather than reusing a compressed one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacuzzi Bros.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633703104724,"sku":"JAC-251-1351","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_124fd6ed-aa59-4616-8f6f-d37710dd85ae.jpg?v=1788812018","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/w-series-skimmer-face-flange","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
