{"product_id":"1-5-union-gasket","title":"Waterway 1.5\" Union Gasket","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Waterway 711-4000 is the flat gasket that seals a 1-1\/2 in. union. It sits between the union nut and the fitting and is the part that actually makes the joint watertight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaterway uses this gasket across a wide range of equipment: center discharge pumps, Carefree and Clearwater sand filters, and replacement pump strainer traps. If a 1-1\/2 in. Waterway union is involved, this is the gasket in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChasing a union leak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA union that weeps at the nut is nearly always a gasket problem, not a cracked fitting. Gaskets flatten, take a permanent set, get nicked when the joint is opened, or dry out over a season. Hand tighten the nut first; if it still drips, take it apart and look at the gasket. A thin film of pool rated silicone lubricant on the new one helps it seat and makes the union easier to open next time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627708330196,"sku":"WWP-851-8078","price":9.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_fead124f-89c5-4adf-8412-2e3d2dfbbfea.gif?v=1788727005","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/1-5-union-gasket","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
