{"product_id":"weir-assembly-938","title":"Pentair Weir Assembly for Sta-Rite U-3 Skimmer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pentair 08650-0022 is the hinged weir door assembly for Sta-Rite and SwimQuip U-3 skimmers. It is the genuine Pentair OEM part, molded to the original specification so it fits without filing or adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne piece by design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weir door and its vertical hinge strip are molded as a single assembly. They are not meant to come apart. Keeping them together is what gives the door its structural strength and its consistent movement in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes and markings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weir body measures 8-1\/2 in. long by 5-1\/8 in. wide. The hinge strip is 8-1\/4 in. long by 13\/16 in. wide and carries five holes in two rows. If you want to confirm the match before ordering, check the old part: the weir body is marked PAT. 270235 and 8650-4, and the hinge is marked 8650-8.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and what it fixes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hinge strip slots inside the skimmer housing behind the small retaining posts and is secured with one or two screws depending on the setup. The door then floats on a horizontal plane and follows the water level, which is what keeps surface debris flowing into the skimmer. A weir that no longer stays upright, has broken prongs or a worn hinge, lets leaves and bugs drift back out of the throat, and this assembly restores the skimming action.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sta-Rite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48625581129940,"sku":"SWQ-251-3791","price":38.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_9b615d62-564b-4ad6-8554-5b1ff6ab472a.jpg?v=1788688882","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/weir-assembly-938","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
