Hayward In Line Gage for Automatic Pool Cleaners | AXV096GR

The Hayward AXV096GR is a genuine OEM in-line vacuum gauge designed for use with Hayward suction-side automatic pool cleaners including the Navigator, Pool Vac Plus, Pool Vac Ultra, and Pool Vac XL. The gauge connects directly in-line with the cleaner hose and measures vacuum suction pressure in inches of mercury (0–30 HG) on a 2-inch face dial, giving pool owners and service technicians an accurate, real-time reading of the suction available to the cleaner at any point in the hose. The standard rule of thumb is 1 inch of vacuum per hose section — a reading outside this range quickly identifies whether the system has adequate suction, a flow restriction, a clogged filter, or a hose leak, eliminating the guesswork from pool cleaner troubleshooting. Features a 1/8-inch rear NPT connection for easy in-line installation. Also cross-references Pentair part number R36006 and replaces legacy Hayward part V096P.

Highlights

• Genuine Hayward OEM Diagnostic Tool: Factory-authorized AXV096GR vacuum gauge manufactured by Hayward to OEM specifications, engineered specifically for use with Hayward suction-side automatic pool cleaners including the Navigator, Pool Vac Plus, Pool Vac Ultra, and Pool Vac XL series.
• 0–30 HG Vacuum Measurement on 2" Face Dial: The large, easy-to-read 2-inch dial measures vacuum pressure from 0 to 30 inches of mercury, providing a precise, at-a-glance suction reading directly in the cleaner hose for fast, accurate performance diagnosis.
• Eliminates Guesswork from Pool Cleaner Troubleshooting: The industry-standard benchmark of 1 inch of vacuum per hose section makes the AXV096GR an invaluable diagnostic tool — a reading above or below this range instantly identifies suction deficits, flow restrictions, clogged filters, air leaks, or hose problems without disassembly.
• Simple In-Line Installation with 1/8" Rear NPT Connection: Connects directly in-line with the cleaner hose via a 1/8-inch rear NPT fitting for quick, straightforward installation and removal — no special tools required for routine suction testing and cleaner performance checks.
• Cross-References Pentair R36006 | Replaces V096P: Also listed as a direct cross-reference for Pentair part number R36006 and replaces legacy Hayward vacuum gauge part number V096P, making it easy to confirm compatibility across multiple parts references and service documentation.
