It is listed for the S160T, S220 and S245T, and Hayward also references it against the top mount S-190T to S-245T range and the 2-piece top mount S-160T.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drain sits at the base of the filter tank.

Once the drain will not seal, the filter loses pressure and drips continuously at the base of the tank. Replacing the assembly with a fresh cap and gasket is the clean fix rather than trying to tape a damaged thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrdering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm your filter model against the list above, since Hayward uses several drain arrangements across the sand filter range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633672171732,"sku":"HAY-051-2189","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_208b6ea5-6b7a-434e-9762-be2e859d6b7f.png?v=1788808580","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/drain-pipe-assembly-w-cap-gasket-s160t-s220-s245t","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
