Description
Throughout the season a pool cleaner hose is dragged, pulled and bent, and the spot under the most strain is exactly where it enters the unit. This grey sleeve with code FBW41710 is an original Mountfield part and forms the connection between the two components.
What the Connection Fits
It is designed for the seven cleaner models listed below. The profile ribs in the middle help keep the hose from slipping off as the cleaner moves through the water.
Key Features
- original Mountfield part, suitable for several generations of cleaners;
- grey colour and ribbed profile for a better grip;
- in most cases it can be replaced without extra tools;
- easy to order by the manufacturer code FBW41710.

Signs of Wear
Sunlight and chlorinated water gradually make plastic brittle. If you notice a crack, a deformation, air being sucked in or a hose that slides out, replace the part. Before buying, compare the diameter of your hose with that of the connector in the photo.
Replacement Step by Step
- Switch off the pool cleaner and remove the hose.
- Pull off the old connector with a slight twisting motion.
- Moisten the end of the hose.
- Push the new connector on all the way.
- Tug lightly to make sure the connection holds, then lower the cleaner into the water.
Start-of-Season Inspection
Check the hose along its entire length; when the connector is cracked, the hose itself is usually worn at that point too. Also check the seal to the pool cleaner so that no air gets in during operation.
