Cover Valet / Cover Pro Side Mount Bracket – cvAA

As a retailer of hot tub spare parts and pool equipment, I supply genuine replacement components for Cover Valet and Cover Pro hot tub cover lifters. This side mount bracket is a structural component for these cover lifting systems.

Purpose and Function

The side mount bracket provides secure attachment for Cover Valet and Cover Pro lifter mechanisms to hot tub cabinets or mounting surfaces. This bracket bears the weight of the cover and lifter assembly, transferring loads safely to the mounting structure. Proper bracket installation is essential for safe, reliable cover operation.

This cvAA specification bracket is engineered for side-mounting applications on compatible lifter models.

When Replacement Is Needed

Replace the bracket when you notice: visible cracks or structural damage, bending or deformation affecting alignment, worn or stripped mounting holes, corrosion compromising strength, looseness despite proper fastener tightening, or difficulty maintaining secure attachment. Damaged brackets can cause lifter failure and potential injury.

Installation Requirements

Mount the bracket securely to structurally sound surfaces capable of supporting the combined weight of cover and lifter. Use appropriate fasteners for the mounting surface material – wood screws for wooden cabinets, lag bolts for structural mounting. Ensure the bracket sits level and flush against the mounting surface.

Follow manufacturer torque specifications. Verify secure attachment before loading the lifter and cover. Check mounting security periodically as part of regular hot tub maintenance.

Safety Considerations

Side mount brackets are safety-critical components supporting substantial weight. Failed or improperly installed brackets can cause: cover lifter collapse, cover damage, hot tub cabinet damage, or injury from falling components. Never exceed the lifter’s rated weight capacity.

Load Capacity

Ensure the mounting surface can support the bracket loads. Weak or deteriorated cabinet surfaces may require reinforcement before bracket installation. Consider cover weight when wet, which can be significantly heavier than dry weight specifications.

Maintenance Tips

Inspect brackets during regular hot tub servicing. Check for: structural integrity without cracks or bending, secure mounting with no looseness, corrosion or deterioration, proper alignment maintaining lifter function, and adequate fastener tightness. Tighten mounting hardware as needed.

Genuine Component

Authentic Cover Valet and Cover Pro brackets are manufactured to precise specifications ensuring adequate strength, proper mounting geometry, and correct dimensions for lifter alignment. Quality materials provide durability under continuous load and outdoor exposure.
