About This Item
The Pentair Axle Assembly (R201456) is the OEM replacement axle for the ProVac Flexible Vacuum series, specifically designed for the No. 214R and No. 222R vacuum head models. This listing is for the axle assembly only — the wheel is not included.
The axle provides the structural shaft on which the ProVac's wheels rotate, allowing the vacuum head to track smoothly across pool surfaces. A bent, cracked, or worn axle causes the wheels to bind or wobble, reducing cleaning coverage and placing uneven stress on surrounding components. Replacing the axle restores proper wheel alignment and consistent rolling action across the pool floor and walls.

Pro Tip
This axle is confirmed to span several ProVac model numbers beyond the 214R and 222R — including No. 188, No. 200, No. 201, and No. 188-20. If your vacuum head carries one of those numbers, compare the axle stamped on your existing part to R201456 before ordering. When replacing the axle, inspect the wheels at the same time; a worn or cracked wheel is often the root cause of axle stress and should be replaced together for a complete repair.
