{"product_id":"compression-fitting-assembly","title":"Hayward Compression Fitting Assembly","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hayward SPX1485DA is the genuine compression fitting assembly for Hayward side mount sand filters, supplied with its gasket. Hayward lists it against the S-200 and S-240 filters and the Pro Series side mount range, S-210S, S-220S, S-244S, S-310S and S-360S.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it sits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide mount sand filters plumb through fittings on the tank wall rather than through a top mounted valve. Those fittings live under system pressure every time the pump runs, and the compression seal is what keeps the water inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy they fail\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaskets and compression seals harden with heat, chlorine and age. The first sign is usually a slow weep that dries to a white crust, which people miss until the pad is wet. Once a fitting starts, tightening it further tends to crush the seal rather than stop the leak, and the assembly is the correct repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrdering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm the leak is at the compression fitting and not at the tank bulkhead or a tank o-ring before ordering, since those are separate Hayward parts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633671319764,"sku":"HAY-051-1391","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_7d951126-8b51-4132-bfad-2ae339851d82.png?v=1788808558","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/compression-fitting-assembly","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
