Hayward skimmer hose adapter wrench

This wrench fits the ~42mm hex head on the hose adapter for a Hayward in-ground pool skimmer, so that it can be installed/removed more easily. If you've ever tried grabbing the adapter with pliers or some other standard wrench, you know how difficult it can be working inside the skimmer.

Additionally, the hole in the other end of the wrench will fit the steel pipe tool that is used to install/remove the pool cover. So this can provide some additional leverage if needed, but probably is not necessary.

I printed the wrench in PETG flat on the bed as shown, with the seam aligned to ‘rear’ in Prusaslicer, so that it stays in the little notch rather than potentially make the fit uneven over the adapter.

Enjoy!
