Product details
The Laars P0026800 is the drain plug for the return header on Laars pool heaters. It is listed across a wide span of the range: the Lite and Lite2, the Series 2, the Lite2 model LJ, and the XL-2 and oil fired XL-3.
Why the plug matters
The return header holds water whenever the heater is plumbed in. In a climate that freezes, that water has to come out before winter, and this plug is how it comes out. A heat exchanger that was never drained is one of the most expensive ways to learn the lesson.
Why they get replaced
A plug that is removed and refitted every autumn takes abuse. Threads pick up scale, the head gets rounded by a worn wrench, and eventually it stops sealing. A drain that weeps sends water straight down onto the burner tray and the controls below, so it is worth changing rather than nursing along.

Questions and answers
What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.
Which heaters does this fit?
It is listed for the Laars Lite and Lite2, the Series 2, the Lite2 model LJ, and the XL-2 and oil fired XL-3.
What is the return header drain plug for?
It is the plug you remove to drain water out of the return header, which is the step that protects the heat exchanger over winter in a freezing climate.
Mine is leaking. Can I just tighten it?
Sometimes, but a plug that has been rounded off or cross threaded will not seal no matter how hard it is driven, and a weeping header drips onto the burner tray and the controls underneath.
Is this a genuine Laars part?
Yes. It is Laars part number P0026800.
