It is the plastic trim that surrounds the skimmer throat where it meets the pool wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it fails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe face plate spends years in sun and pool water. It chalks, it gets brittle, and eventually it cracks, usually at a screw hole. Once it is cracked it no longer pulls the gasket flat against the wall, which is the point of the part. Replacing it is a straightforward job and it makes the skimmer look new from the pool side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing and gasket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listed dimensions are 18-3\/16 in by 8-5\/8 in. The gasket is a separate Hayward part, sold as a set of two, and it is worth ordering with the plate since you have the assembly apart anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633451643092,"sku":"HAY-251-1934","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_9ffeb201-a043-4b51-b8c4-9cd606bda48f.png?v=1788804867","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/widemouth-face-plate","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
