Quick overview
- Genuine Hayward Factory part SPX1491B, not a generic ring picked to look close.
- Used in several places Hayward calls for this o-ring across a range of its unions, valves and pumps.
- Order by part number Seals that look alike rarely seal alike, so match SPX1491B against your parts list.
- A consumable, not a repair Rubber hardens and takes a set with heat and chemicals, and a set o-ring leaks no matter how tight you make the fitting.
- Worth keeping spare If you break unions seasonally, a spare on the shelf saves a trip.
- Silicone lubricant only Use a silicone based o-ring lube on it, since petroleum greases swell this kind of seal.

Product details
The Hayward SPX1491B is a genuine Hayward o-ring, specified across a range of the company unions, valves and pumps. It is the rubber seal in the joint, and it is the part of that joint designed to be replaced.
Order it by number
O-rings are the one part where measuring the old one is the least reliable way to buy. A ring that has been in service is not the size it started at, since heat, chlorine and compression all change it. Matching the Hayward part number against your parts list is the way to get a seal that actually seats.
When to change it
If a union drips or a pump draws air with everything correctly tightened, suspect the seal before you suspect the fitting. A ring that has gone hard, flat or crazed will not recover, and running it tighter only cracks the plastic around it. Fit the new ring with a silicone based o-ring lubricant, and keep petroleum grease away from it.
