Zodiac – Air conveyor bottom wedge Z400 – R0817400

The Zodiac Air Conveyor Bottom Wedge (R0817400) is a genuine OEM replacement spare part designed specifically for the Zodiac Z400 series automatic pool cleaner. The air conveyor system is a core mechanical assembly within the Z400 cleaner, responsible for directing and channelling the airflow that drives the internal turbine and propulsion mechanism. The bottom wedge is the lower structural component of this assembly, forming a precise aerodynamic channel that ensures optimal airflow distribution within the cleaner body. Without this component functioning correctly, the cleaner’s turbine efficiency and directional movement can be significantly compromised.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This bottom wedge component is manufactured to Zodiac’s exact OEM tolerances, ensuring a precise fit within the air conveyor housing of the Z400 platform. It is compatible with the Zodiac Z400 pool cleaner across multiple drive variants, including the MD7 and TD7 configurations, as confirmed by official Zodiac catalogue references. The part is constructed from durable pool-grade plastic materials designed to withstand continuous immersion in chemically treated pool water. Installation is straightforward and does not require specialist tools — the component slots into the designated position within the cleaner body following standard disassembly of the top cover and internal housing. The SKU R0817400 is the Zodiac-designated part number for this specific bottom wedge assembly and should be used when ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Suitability and application

This replacement part is intended for owners of the Zodiac Z400 automatic pool cleaner — specifically units fitted with MD7 or TD7 drive configurations — where the air conveyor bottom wedge has become worn, cracked, or damaged, resulting in reduced cleaning performance or abnormal noise from the cleaner. As a genuine Zodiac spare part, it is the recommended replacement option to restore the cleaner to its original factory performance specification. It is suitable for use in both residential in-ground and above-ground swimming pools where the Z400 series cleaner is deployed. Replacing worn internal components promptly extends the overall service life of the cleaner and avoids the need for full unit replacement.
