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.
