{"product_id":"1-4-plug-w-o-ring","title":"Waterway 1\/4\" Plug with O-Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the Waterway 873-E15S1, a 1\/4 inch plug supplied with its O-ring. Waterway lists it for the SmartClean sand and Crystal Water DE multiport valve assemblies in both 1-1\/2 inch and 2 inch sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the small 1\/4 inch port plug on the valve body rather than one of the main plumbing connections. Small as it is, it is a common source of a slow drip that gets blamed on the valve itself, because the O-ring hardens and takes a set long before anything else on the multiport wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the O-ring comes with the plug, the whole seal is renewed in one go. Thread it in and take it up snug so the O-ring compresses, then stop. The seal comes from the O-ring, not from torque, and leaning on a plastic plug is the usual way to crack the boss it threads into.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48635037057236,"sku":"WWP-061-1010","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_d8753159-9d1e-4c19-9b88-5160c3f93df8.jpg?v=1788840177","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/1-4-plug-w-o-ring","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
