Frequently Asked Questions – 60-1260 Bullfrog® SnapCap Clip
Q: What does the 60-1260 SnapCap Clip do?
A: The 60-1260 SnapCap Clip secures the SnapCap trim piece in place on compatible Bullfrog® spas. It ensures the cap remains properly aligned and prevents it from loosening or detaching over time.
Q: Which Bullfrog spa models does this fit?
A: This SnapCap Clip is designed for Bullfrog® spa models manufactured from 2013 to present. Compatibility may vary depending on series (A Series, R Series, X Series). Always verify your spa’s year and model before ordering.
Q: How do I confirm this is the correct clip for my spa?
A: To confirm fitment:
- Check your spa’s manufacture year (2013 or newer).
- Compare your existing clip to the product photo.
- Verify part number 60-1260 on your original component or parts diagram.
If unsure, contact us with your spa model and photos, and we’ll help verify.
Q: Is this an OEM Bullfrog® part?
A: Yes, this is a genuine replacement SnapCap Clip compatible with Bullfrog® spas manufactured from 2013 onward.
Q: How many clips do I need?
A: The number of clips required depends on the specific trim or SnapCap location. We recommend inspecting all clips when replacing one, as aging plastic can become brittle over time.
Q: Is installation difficult?
A: Installation is simple:
- Remove the damaged or broken clip.
- Align the new SnapCap Clip with the mounting location.
- Press firmly until it snaps into place.
No special tools are typically required.
Q: Why do SnapCap clips break?
A: Clips may break due to:
- Age and UV exposure
- Temperature fluctuations
- Physical impact when removing trim pieces
Replacing worn clips helps maintain proper panel alignment.
Q: Can I use this clip on older (pre-2013) Bullfrog spas?
A: No. This part is designed specifically for 2013–present models. Earlier models may use a different clip design.
Q: What if I order the wrong clip?
A: Small plastic components are non-returnable once installed. Please verify compatibility before installing. If you need help confirming fitment, contact us prior to installation.
