The 311-1210 Executive 48/56 Frame Faceplate, 2.5" Intake, is a genuine replacement wet end faceplate designed for Waterway Executive Series spa pumps. It forms the front plate of the pump housing, providing a secure suction inlet connection and helping maintain proper water flow through the pump's wet end. The 2.5" size supports larger inlet plumbing and is ideal for repairing cracked or worn pump front housings.

Specifications:

Returns & installation: Confirm your pump's frame size and intake diameter match this faceplate before ordering, as pump parts are non-returnable once installed. Installation involves removing the pump wet end per your spa's service manual and replacing the faceplate, O-rings, and drain plugs as needed.

FAQ

Q: How do I know if I need this part?
A: Cracks, leaks, or water seepage around the front of the pump wet end are common signs the faceplate needs replacement.

Q: Are O-rings and drain plugs included?
A: No — O-rings (often part #805-0261) and drain plugs are sold separately and should be replaced along with the faceplate.
