It is the genuine Polaris OEM part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePump housings are molded with more ports than any single installation uses, so that the same casting can serve a gauge here, a drain there, or nothing at all. A plug closes the ports that are not in use. This one is the small 1\/8 inch size, and it is molded in plastic to match the housing it threads into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrap the thread with PTFE tape or use a thread sealant suited to plastic, then run it in hand tight and give it only a small nudge beyond that. Pipe threads are tapered and seal by wedging, so extra force does not buy a better seal. It drives the plug deeper into the port and is a common way of cracking a housing that was perfectly sound before the repair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zodiac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634970407124,"sku":"POL-201-3290","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_a9cc9eeb-eacb-40d7-9b1b-00c0d1e01630.png?v=1788839207","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/1-8-nptm-plastic-plug","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
