{"product_id":"lock-ring-3","title":"Hayward Lock Ring SPX1419D1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hayward SPX1419D1 is the lock ring for an eyeball return fitting. It threads into the wall fitting and traps the eyeball and its seat, which is what keeps the return aimed where you set it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it fails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring is the part that takes the strain every time somebody twists the eyeball to change the flow direction, and it sits in sunlight and pool water for years. Most of the ones that come out are cracked from over tightening or have simply gone brittle. Once the ring splits, the eyeball works loose and the return sprays wherever it likes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrdering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is the ring alone, sized 2.25 in by 0.5 in. Eyeball fittings and seats are ordered separately, so check whether those parts are still sound before you take the wall fitting apart. Thread the new ring in hand tight and leave it there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48635041415380,"sku":"HAY-251-1978","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_6916bab3-3d7f-461f-a10f-dcb3863f2cb0.jpg?v=1788840410","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/lock-ring-3","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
