Zodiac Genuine OEM MX6 / MX8 Twist-Lock 45 Degree Elbow, Extended, R0532400

The Zodiac R0532400 is the extended twist-lock 45 degree elbow for the Baracuda MX6 and MX8 suction pool cleaners. It is the genuine Zodiac part.

Where it goes

The elbow sets the angle at which the hose leaves the cleaner and joins the rest of the hose run. It uses the twist-lock connection, so sections come apart by hand rather than with clamps or tools. That makes it easy to service, and it also means the lock itself is a wear point.

Standard or extended

This listing is the extended elbow. Zodiac also uses a standard length elbow on these cleaners, so compare the piece you took off before ordering rather than going by shape alone.

When to replace it

Elbows crack at the collar and lose their lock long before hose sections wear out, because they take the strain every time the cleaner turns and the hose swings. If the connection pops loose in use or the fitting is visibly split, the elbow is the part to change.
