In short: Pentair replacement hinge kit, designated Wing Hinge Kit. Pentair part number K12185.
A broken hinge blocks access for maintenance
On pool equipment, hinges hold a cover or access panel in place. They are exposed to sun and frost, and the plastic becomes brittle over the years.
When a hinge breaks, the cover no longer stays in place. It opens in the wind, lets debris in, or may even blow away during a gust of wind.
The kit includes the parts needed for replacement. Confirm with us that it is compatible with your equipment before ordering: the Pentair catalog does not publish a list of models for this part number.

Frequently asked questions
What equipment is this part used on?
Pentair does not publish a list of models for this part number. Send us a photo of your equipment and the hinge to be replaced: we will confirm compatibility before shipping.
Should both hinges be replaced?
Generally, yes. They have aged together: if one has failed, the other is probably at the same stage.
How can their lifespan be extended?
Avoid forcing the cover when it is frozen. Cold plastic breaks much more easily.
