Product Overview

The Pentair A&A 231202 G4V Internal Head in Light Gray is a replacement internal cleaning head component for compatible A&A in-floor pool cleaning systems. This part is used to help restore proper pop-up cleaning head function when the existing internal head is worn, damaged, sticking, or no longer rotating correctly.

In-floor cleaning systems depend on properly operating heads to move water and debris toward the drain or collection areas. Replacing a worn internal head can help improve circulation, cleaning coverage, and system performance when matched to the correct A&A cleaning head body.

This is an internal head replacement part only. It is not a complete cleaning system, valve, collar, or floor fitting.

Compatibility Guidance

The Pentair A&A 231202 G4V Internal Head is intended for compatible A&A G4V in-floor cleaning head applications.

Before ordering, confirm the following:

You need part number 231202.
Your existing in-floor cleaning system uses compatible A&A G4V cleaning heads.
Your existing cleaning head body or floor fitting is in usable condition.
You need the internal head, not the complete floor fitting or collar.
You need the light gray color.
Your current head style, size, and locking/installation method match this replacement part.
Your pool professional has confirmed fitment if you are unsure.

Do not order this part by color alone. In-floor cleaning heads are system-specific, and incorrect head styles may not lock in, pop up, rotate, or clean properly.

Confirm Before Ordering

Your required part number is 231202.
The color needed is light gray.
The existing floor fitting/body is not cracked, stripped, or damaged.
You do not need a full floor fitting, collar, water valve, or valve module.
You have the proper removal/installation tool if required.
Your in-floor system issue is related to the head itself, not the valve, plumbing, or pressure supply.

Benefits

The Pentair A&A 231202 G4V Internal Head helps maintain the performance of compatible in-floor pool cleaning systems by replacing a worn or damaged head. A properly functioning cleaning head helps direct water flow across the pool surface, supporting debris movement and improved circulation.

Replacing only the internal head can be a practical repair option when the existing floor fitting remains in good condition. The light gray color helps blend with many pool interiors and existing in-floor head layouts.

Recommended Use

Use this replacement internal head when a compatible A&A G4V cleaning head is no longer operating correctly. Common signs that a head may need replacement include sticking, poor pop-up action, weak rotation, visible wear, broken tabs, or reduced cleaning coverage in that zone.

If multiple heads are not working correctly, inspect the system water valve, valve module, filter pressure, pump flow, and plumbing before assuming all heads need replacement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be completed by a qualified pool professional or a knowledgeable pool owner familiar with A&A in-floor cleaning systems. Some cleaning heads require a compatible removal tool to safely unlock and remove the old head.

For best results:

Turn off the pool pump before servicing the head.
Use the correct removal tool when required.
Inspect the existing floor fitting for cracks, worn locking tabs, or debris.
Clean the fitting area before installing the new internal head.
Confirm the new head locks securely into place.
Restart the system and verify pop-up and rotation performance.
Check valve operation and water pressure if the new head does not move correctly.

Improper installation or incorrect part selection can cause poor cleaning performance, head movement issues, or damage to the floor fitting.

Important Fitment Note

This item is the internal head only. It does not include the complete floor fitting, collar, water valve, valve module, or other in-floor cleaning system components.

If the existing floor fitting is damaged, or if the system has low pressure, poor zone switching, or valve issues, additional parts or service may be required.
