It is the genuine Hayward part, used where a flexible hose has to meet a threaded port on a filter or valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHayward lists this adapter for the S240PAK1, S200PAK1, S160TPAK1 and PAK3, S160T, S190T, S164T and S166T filters. It threads into the port, and the hose slides over the barbed end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy they get replaced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarbed plastic fittings live a hard life. Sun, chlorine and the pull of a stiff hose work on the shoulder of the barb until it cracks, and the first sign is usually a slow drip or a loss of prime rather than an obvious break. Swapping the adapter is far quicker than chasing the leak anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrap the male thread with PTFE tape, thread it in by hand and add about one more turn. Then push the hose fully onto the barb and lock it with a stainless hose clamp. Plastic ports split if they are torqued with a wrench, so stop while it is still snug.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633927893204,"sku":"HAY-251-1530","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_ad50f4bf-dac1-4b46-bcc9-63a09ba60c37.jpg?v=1788817399","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/hayward-spx1091z2pak2-filter-insert-adapter-1-1-2-mip-x-1-1-2-hose","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
