The rubber takes a set and stops sealing, and the plastic threads crack if the cap was ever forced or left out in a freeze. Because both failures look the same from outside, the cap and gasket are sold as one part.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48626100371668,"sku":"HAY-051-2194","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_1dcaa41d-9479-4b05-8456-54e3bfec503b.png?v=1788704726","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/drain-cap-2005-and-prior","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
