Quick overview
- Genuine Waterway Factory part 415-6000 rather than a generic nut.
- Sized 2-1/2 inch The nut for the 2-1/2 inch Waterway union.
- Nut only Supplied as the nut alone, so a complete union is a separate part.
- Common failure Union nuts crack at the threads or split when overtightened, and that is normally what needs replacing rather than the whole union.
- Hand tight is enough Union nuts seal on the o-ring, not on thread pressure, so leaning on a wrench is what breaks them.
- Keep a spare An inexpensive part that stops a leak turning into a cut and reglue job.

Product details
The Waterway 415-6000 is the union nut for the 2-1/2 inch Waterway union, sold on its own.
When you need one
The nut is the part of a union that fails. It cracks at the threads or splits down one side, usually after being wrenched down hard. The union body and tailpiece are normally still fine, so replacing the nut puts the joint back together without cutting into the plumbing.
Fitting it
Hand tight is the target. A union seals against its o-ring, not by thread pressure, so a nut torqued with a wrench gains nothing and is being set up to crack.
