I ordered this product to cover two of these motors --> A.O. Smith B2853 1 HP, 3450 RPM, 1 Speed, 230/115 Volts, 6.6/13.2 Amps, 1.25 Service Factor, 56Y Frame, PSC, ODP Enclosure, Square Flange Pool Motor. Both of these motors are on Pentair whisperflo pumps. I'm getting this detailed because if you have this same configuration you may not like these covers. As designed and instructed these covers did not fit my motors as they are too big for these covers. I made the covers work by eliminating the motor clamps and just resting them on top of the motors. You'll see in the attached photo that my motors are quite close to one another as well as to the Pentair Sand Filter and a cement block property wall so I have no concerns about these covers blowing away. The electrical conduit fitting diameter is very close to the width of the cover's knockout so the fit is snug and serves as 'sort of' an anchor. The extent of the contact on the top of the motor is a bit of the arch on the capacitor cover. I have read other reviewers complaints about removing the knockout for an electrical connection that should be addressed. Firstly do a dry fit of the loose parts around your motor before assembling anything and decide which knockout you need to remove and mark it so you don't forget. DO NOT assemble the parts before attempting to remove the knockout. Place the cover side on a piece of wood or some other sacrificial flat surface outside face down. Using a utility knife with a fresh blade and some patience, lightly score the outline of the knockout several times. You'll be able to see some thicker spots needing focused cutting but go easy. Heavy cuts will wander away from the outline and are a needless personal risk. Soon you'll see the knockout begin to loosen and become easily removable. You don't need dremel tools or multi-tools or grinders. Don't overthink it. I have also read complaints about how difficult it is to slide the sides on to the cover top. I can appreciate this. It is tight. I applied some Hi-Temp red grease to the ridge along the edge of the side pieces and to the contact spots on the top they go in to. If you don't have fancy grease you can probably accomplish the same thing with the silicone lubricant you use on pool parts like O-Rings or just some vaseline. I was able to push the sides into the top about 3/4's of the way manually. I finished up using a few taps with the rubber mallet I use to remove and reinstall my pump covers. I won't go into how to install the motor clamps as I didn't use them. I will address another review complaint I saw citing the fact that the cover wasn't large enough to cover the motor and the pump. Yes the description is a bit misleading. It does begin with "Pool Pump Cover..." before it goes on to say "Pool Pump Motor Cover." It is a MOTOR COVER not a pump cover. That should have been represented more clearly. The pump is full of water so it should be fine without a cover. Again, if you have the same configuration as mine and you have your heart set on using the motor clamps, this cover is likely not for you. I'm content with the covers resting on the motors and believe it will make servicing easier. I'm keeping them. Regardless of where you intend to use it and on on what you intend to use it, consider carefully the dimensions of the product. 13.4"L x 8.9"W Review: Great pool pump motor cover - I was going to make a sun shade/weather cover for my pool pump motor, and then I stumbled upon this. For $20, I figured I'd give it a try. It's made of plastic, but it does the job and doesn't interfere with the air flow around the motor. It effectively keeps the direct sun off of the motor, and should add some life to it over the years. It attaches to the motor housing with plastic brackets. The plastic may dry out and crack over time, but the cost is so low and is so easily installed, that I think it's worth it. The motor costs a lot more than $20. I am running a Hayward 1.5 HP single speed vari-flo pump. ## Features - Pump Protector: Our motor cover keeps your motor safe from UV, rain, dust that add years life of your above-ground well pump or pool water pump in both summer and winter. （Note: Minimize heat from direct sunlight exposure.
