Description
Zodiac Tri silver top plastic frame R0744100
The Zodiac Tri silver top plastic frame R0744100 is the original upper dress cover for Zodiac Tri and Tri Expert salt chlorinators. It forms the visible silver frame around the control panel, protecting the housing edge and restoring the clean factory appearance of the power pack in the technical room.
Main features of the Zodiac Tri dress cover
- Original Zodiac silver top plastic frame for Tri series chlorinators.
- Upper decorative and protective bezel around the control panel area.
- Matches the original colour and surface finish of the Tri housing.
- Designed to clip and screw onto the existing control box chassis.
Compatibility and applications
The Zodiac Tri silver top plastic frame R0744100 is used on several Tri family models and appears in spare parts diagrams as “dress cover tri” or “marco plástico superior plateado TRi”. It is the correct upper frame when your exploded view lists R0744100 as the silver top plastic frame.
- Suitable for Zodiac Tri 10, 18, 22 and 35 control units.
- Used on Zodiac Tri Expert models that share the silver upper frame.
- Fits Tri power packs built with the standard silver front design.
- Can be combined with lower cover and protection cover to refurbish the full housing.
When to replace the Zodiac Tri dress cover
Although the dress cover has no electronic function, its condition affects both protection and appearance of the control unit. Over time, plastic frames in pool plant rooms are exposed to bumps, UV light and chemical vapours.
- Cracks, breaks or missing pieces in the upper frame.
- Broken clips or mounting points so the frame no longer sits tight.
- Heavy discolouration, scratches or staining that cannot be polished out.
- Refurbishment of an older Tri or Tri Expert power pack for a cleaner look.
Installation guidelines
Fitting the Zodiac Tri silver top plastic frame R0744100 is a simple mechanical operation that is usually done together with other housing or electronic service work. Always disconnect the chlorinator from the mains before working on the control unit.
- Switch off and unplug the control unit before removing any covers.
- Carefully remove the old upper frame, releasing clips and screws without forcing them.
- Clean the contact surfaces on the chassis and remove dust or debris.
- Position the new R0744100 dress cover so all clips and screw holes line up correctly.
- Engage the clips and refit the original screws, tightening evenly without over tightening.
- Check that the frame sits flush, does not move and does not interfere with the front protection cover or display.
Care and appearance
To keep the new Zodiac Tri dress cover looking good and to protect the housing for as long as possible, a few simple care habits are sufficient.
- Wipe the frame periodically with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if needed.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the plastic surface.
- Keep chemical containers closed and stored away from the control unit to limit vapours.
- Check the frame, clips and screws at the start of each season and retighten if necessary.
With a new Zodiac Tri silver top plastic frame R0744100 correctly installed, the chlorinator recovers its original clean front design while the housing edge around the control panel is once again properly protected.
