Hayward I/G Widemouth Skimmer for Vinyl w/ 12-1/4" Throat | SP10851OM

The Hayward SP10851OM Widemouth Skimmer is a premium inground pool skimming solution specifically designed for vinyl‑lined pools with a 12‑1/4″ throat opening. The extra‑wide throat improves surface debris capture — such as leaves, bugs, and floating dirt — making cleanup faster and water clearer with less manual effort.

This model comes with an outside mount flange and is engineered for easy installation with 1‑1/2″ plumbing connections, delivering reliable, leak‑resistant performance. Built from corrosion‑resistant, pool‑grade materials, the skimmer withstands prolonged exposure to pool chemicals, UV light, and outdoor conditions. Its thoughtful design and robust construction make it ideal for both new pool builds and vinyl pool remodels requiring superior surface skimming performance.
