Leisure Concepts® CoverMate® III Extended Pivot Arms – for Large Spas (8‑10 ft) – part #CMIII‑EX PA

Q: Why choose the extended pivot version?

A: It’s designed for spa covers approximately 8 to 10 feet wide or with larger-than-standard hinge spacing that standard lifts can't accommodate.

Q: Is the clearance requirement different from the regular CoverMate III?

A: No, it still requires only 6″ of rear clearance and 5″ on each side—ideal for tight installations.

Q: Does this kit include hydraulic shocks and TowelMate?

A: Yes, the complete assembly includes hydraulic shocks for smooth operation and a TowelMate towel holder for added convenience.

Q: Is this compatible with all spas?

A: It fits most square and rectangular above-ground spas, but always verify your spa’s size and cover dimensions before purchase.

Q: Is drilling required to install the extended pivot arms?

A: Yes, light drilling into the spa cabinet is required to mount the brackets securely.

Position spa cover closed and mark 6″ from spa rear edge for bracket mounting.
