About This Item

The Pentair Retainer Bar, Long (R36033) is the OEM replacement long retainer bar for the Pentair Vac-Mate Vacuum/Skimmer (R211100).

The retainer bar secures the vacuum bag or debris collection component within the Vac-Mate assembly, keeping it properly positioned during operation. A damaged or missing retainer bar compromises the holding function of the unit, allowing the bag to shift and reducing collection efficiency. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores proper fit and function.

Pro Tip

Before ordering, confirm you need the long retainer bar (R36033). If your Vac-Mate uses a shorter retainer bar, a different part number applies. Check the part number on your existing bar or in your Vac-Mate's parts diagram to ensure you select the correct replacement.
