Polaris G57 OEM Backup Valve Collar for G52

Back-Up Valve Service + G52 Collar Identification

• Genuine Polaris G57 replacement back-up valve collar.
• Identified separately in the G52 back-up valve parts group.
• Replaces the specified collar when it is missing or damaged.
• Helps distinguish a collar repair from replacement of the case, mechanism or complete valve.

Quick Product Summary

The Polaris G57 OEM Backup Valve Collar is the separately listed collar for the G52 back-up valve assembly used on applicable Polaris pressure-side cleaners. Select it when inspection confirms the collar is the component that needs replacement. Check the exact valve reference so you order the collar rather than a complete valve or internal mechanism.

Best For

Pool owners and service technicians servicing an existing G52 back-up valve. It is useful when the collar is visibly damaged or missing and the remaining valve parts are being inspected for reuse. A clear part-number check is especially helpful because the collar, case kit and mechanism are sold under different references.

Why This Matters

• The manufacturer diagram separates G57 collar, G54 case kit, G53 mechanism and G52 complete valve references.
• Replacing the actual damaged component can make the repair more focused when the rest of the assembly is serviceable.
• A leak or backup-cycle problem can have more than one cause, so inspection should determine whether the collar alone is the correct repair.

Common Signs You Need This / Use This When

• The G57 collar is missing from a matching valve assembly.
• Inspection finds visible damage that prevents the collar from being reused.
• A service professional identifies the collar as the component required during G52 valve repair.

Product Specifications

Compatibility / Fitment Notes

Use G57 only when the valve assembly and the cleaner’s parts information call for this collar. Polaris 180 and 280 manufacturer diagrams identify it in the G52 parts group. Check other models against their exact valve diagram rather than treating G57 as a universal hose connector or collar for every Polaris valve.

Installation / Use Notes

Turn off the pool and booster pumps before disconnecting the cleaner for service. Identify the valve and collar against the correct parts diagram, then inspect the collar, case and mechanism before reassembly. Replace only the components required and follow the valve manufacturer’s service instructions. After reassembly, check operation in the pool; if leaks or irregular backup behavior remain, continue diagnosis or seek service assistance.

Buy with Confidence

Benchmark Pool Supply identifies Polaris valve service parts by their separate manufacturer references. Matching G57 to the existing G52 assembly helps you choose the required collar while keeping the case, mechanism and complete-valve options clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Polaris G57 include as a part reference?

G57 identifies the back-up valve collar in the Polaris parts diagram. It is a separate reference from the G52 complete back-up valve, G54 case kit and G53 mechanism.

Which valve should I check before ordering G57?

Confirm that the existing assembly and the cleaner’s parts diagram call for the G57 collar in the G52 back-up valve group. Do not choose it solely by cleaner brand.

Is G57 a feed-hose nut?

No. Polaris lists the G57 back-up valve collar separately from feed-hose nuts and other hose connection hardware. Match the actual component shown in the diagram.

Will a new collar fix every leak or backup-cycle issue?

No. Inspect the valve case, mechanism and other relevant parts to identify the cause. A collar replacement is appropriate only when the collar itself needs replacement.

What should I do before servicing the valve?

Turn off the pool and booster pumps, disconnect the cleaner and follow the manufacturer’s valve service instructions. Get professional help if you are unsure which valve component has failed.
