Description

The Gamma 4 Collar Protecta Foam (SKU 239850) is a durable, high-density foam insert engineered to safeguard your Gamma 4 pop‑up head collar during plastering, resurfacing, or system service. As an OEM Pentair in‑floor part, it fits precisely inside the collar to prevent foreign material intrusion and preserve critical tolerances. This layer of protection ensures your collar maintains integrity through tough construction phases and resumes proper operation once your pool is back in use.

Pro Tip

Install the Protecta foam before resurfacing or major maintenance, then remove it just before you seat the pop-up heads. If your pool is undergoing frequent service, keep a spare insert on hand.
