Hayward WGX1048B Suction Outlet Vinyl Ring With Inserts - White

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward WGX1048B is a vinyl liner face ring used on compatible Hayward suction outlet fittings installed in vinyl liner pools. It secures the liner to the suction outlet body and provides a finished mounting surface for the cover. This component sits at the pool wall where the suction outlet penetrates the liner.

Why This Part Matters
If the vinyl ring is cracked or the inserts are stripped, the liner may not seal correctly around the suction fitting. That can lead to slow leaks behind the liner and long term wall damage. A proper face ring ensures even compression and secure cover mounting. Using the correct ring also helps maintain safe suction outlet assembly alignment.
