Hayward SP1048AVH Main Drain Bumper For AV Drains

The Hayward Main Drain Bumper (Model SP1048AVH) is an accessory designed to fit over Hayward’s 8-inch anti-vortex (AV) main drain covers. Its primary purpose is to prevent automatic suction-side pool cleaners from becoming stuck on the drain cover, thereby enabling the cleaner to operate freely and cover the pool effectively.

Key Features

• A bumper/adapter that hooks or sits across the main-drain cover, creating a raised barrier so the cleaner’s wheels or skirt don’t grab the cover lip.
• Designed specifically for the older Hayward 8″ AV-style main drains (pre-VGB compliant era).
• Easy to install — simply attach over the existing drain cover without major plumbing changes.
• Helps improve pool cleaner movement and prevents stoppage or cycling issues caused when the cleaner latches onto the drain cover.
