Polaris 9-100-1018 OEM Bag Collar Replacement

Replace the Collar That Supports the Bag at the Feed Hose

• OEM Polaris bag collar identified by part number 9-100-1018.
• Supports the matching debris bag at the cleaner’s feed hose.
• Listed in manufacturer parts diagrams for Polaris 280 and 380 cleaners.

Quick Product Summary

The Polaris 9-100-1018 bag collar supports the matching debris bag at the cleaner’s feed hose. It is separate from the bag connector that attaches to the cleaner’s feed pipe. Choose it when inspection identifies a damaged or missing collar, and confirm the exact part reference in your model’s diagram before ordering. A bag-attachment problem can involve either connection, so identifying the damaged component matters.

Best For

Owners replacing a cracked, missing or otherwise damaged 9-100-1018 collar on a compatible cleaner. It is useful when the bag’s support at the feed hose needs attention while the bag connector and its separate connection to the cleaner remain serviceable.

Why This Matters

• The collar supports the bag at the feed hose; the bag connector attaches separately to the cleaner’s feed pipe.
• A damaged collar and a damaged bag connector call for different repairs.
• A replacement collar does not repair torn mesh, a failed bag closure or a broken feed-pipe connection.

Common Signs You Need This

• A cracked or visibly damaged collar at the bag’s feed-hose support.
• A missing collar where the model diagram specifies 9-100-1018.
• A bag that cannot be supported at the feed hose because its matching collar is damaged.

Product Specifications

Compatibility / Fitment Notes

Manufacturer diagrams for Polaris 280 and 380 identify 9-100-1018. Confirm the same reference for any other model before ordering. This is not a universal collar for every Polaris bag attachment: the 360 diagram, for example, identifies a different bag-tie collar. Match the cleaner, bag and feed-hose support arrangement rather than relying on a similar appearance or broad model-family label.

Installation / Use Notes

• Turn off the equipment operating the cleaner and remove it from the pool before servicing the bag and its support collar.
• Follow the model-specific bag-removal instructions. Inspect the collar at the feed hose separately from the bag connector at the feed pipe, checking each component for damage.
• Fit the matching collar in the specified arrangement. Reconnect the bag to the cleaner as directed and reattach its support collar to the feed hose. Confirm both connections before operation, and inspect the mesh and closure while the bag is accessible.

Buy with Confidence

Buy the exact Polaris collar reference from Benchmark Pool Supply after identifying the connection you are repairing. If the bag or hose setup has been changed, confirm the diagram and installed support arrangement first. A collar should be selected by its part number and function, rather than by an assumed universal fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Polaris 9-100-1018 collar do?

It supports the matching debris bag at the cleaner’s feed hose. The bag connector that attaches to the cleaner’s feed pipe is a separate connection.

Which cleaner applications are documented for this collar?

Polaris 280 and 380 manufacturer diagrams list 9-100-1018. For another model, confirm that exact reference in its diagram before ordering.

Can I use it as a universal Polaris 360 bag collar?

Do not assume that fit. The 360 parts diagram identifies a different bag-tie collar. Match the exact part number and installed bag-support arrangement for your cleaner.

Will a new collar fix a bag that disconnects from the feed pipe?

Not necessarily. Inspect the bag connector and its mating feed-pipe connection separately. The collar’s support at the feed hose does not replace or repair those components.

Can the collar repair a torn bag or failed closure?

No. Inspect the mesh, seams and closure separately. A damaged bag needs the correct bag repair or replacement, while a damaged support collar needs the matching collar.
