About This Item
The Pentair Basket Shaft (R36017) is the OEM replacement shaft for the Pentair Vac-Mate Vacuum/Skimmer (R211100), the 5-1/2 in. hardware component that secures the basket assembly within the skimmer attachment.
What It Does
The basket shaft provides the structural connection point that holds the Vac-Mate's basket in position during operation. When this shaft becomes damaged, corroded, or stripped, the basket cannot be properly secured, compromising the skimmer's ability to capture debris effectively. Replacing this shaft restores correct basket retention and full skimmer function.

Compatibility is based on Pentair parts documentation and available OEM records. This is not an exhaustive list. For certainty, verify the part number in your equipment's manual or on the original part itself before ordering.
Pro Tip
Before ordering, confirm the length against the shaft currently installed in your Vac-Mate unit. The 5-1/2 in. length is critical to correct fit — a shaft that is even slightly shorter will not engage the basket assembly properly. The part number R36017 should also appear on your Vac-Mate's parts diagram for the R211100 unit.
