About This Item

The Pentair No. 178 Axle Assembly (R201466) is the OEM replacement axle assembly for the ProVac Flexible Vacuum Head series, sold in a pack of 4 sets.

The axle assembly supports the wheels of the ProVac vacuum head, allowing it to roll smoothly across pool surfaces during manual vacuuming. Worn or broken axles cause wheels to bind, wobble, or detach entirely, reducing cleaning effectiveness and making the vacuum head difficult to maneuver. Replacing the axle assembly restores proper wheel function and extends the working life of your vacuum head.

Pro Tip

This pack contains 4 axle sets — enough to service multiple vacuum heads or keep spares on hand for the season. When replacing axles, inspect the wheels themselves for cracking or flat spots at the same time; worn wheels are often the reason axles fail prematurely. Match the model number printed or molded on your vacuum head to the confirmed models above before ordering.
