Zodiac – Boreal laterals kit – R0804700

The Zodiac R0804700 is a genuine OEM laterals kit designed as a direct replacement component for the Zodiac Boreal D760 sand filter. Laterals are the slotted distribution arms located at the base of the filter vessel, sitting within the underdrain assembly. Their primary function is to collect filtered water after it has passed through the sand bed and direct it back to the pool, while simultaneously preventing sand particles from passing through into the pool return line. Over time, laterals can become cracked, clogged, or brittle due to continuous pressure cycling and chemical exposure, making them one of the most commonly replaced internal filter components. This genuine Zodiac kit ensures a precise, manufacturer-approved fit with no adaptation required.

Technical characteristics and construction

The R0804700 laterals kit is specifically engineered for the Zodiac Boreal D760 sand filter model. The laterals are manufactured from durable, chemically resistant plastic designed to withstand prolonged contact with pool water, sand media, and the pressure differentials involved in normal filtration cycles. The kit includes a full set of replacement laterals compatible with the D760 underdrain hub assembly. Each lateral features fine slots sized to retain standard filter sand while allowing clean, filtered water to pass freely. Because these are genuine Zodiac parts, they maintain the dimensional tolerances and slot specifications required for optimal filtration performance. Fitting non-OEM laterals can result in sand passing into the pool or poor flow distribution — using the correct Zodiac kit eliminates this risk.

Suitability and application

This laterals kit is intended exclusively for use with the Zodiac Boreal D760 sand filter. It is the correct service replacement to use when inspecting a D760 filter and finding one or more cracked, broken, or degraded laterals. It is suitable for both residential and light commercial pool installations where the D760 filter is fitted. If you are performing a full internal service of the Boreal D760 — replacing sand media, inspecting the hub, and checking seals — replacing the laterals as part of this service is strongly recommended to restore full filtration efficiency. Before ordering, confirm your filter model is the D760, as other Boreal variants may use different lateral configurations.
