Product details

The Hayward SPX1420A1 is the rubber flow director that fits inside a 1 inch eyeball return fitting. It is the genuine Hayward part.

What it does

The director sets the direction and shape of the water coming out of a return. Aiming returns is how circulation is controlled: point them well and the whole pool turns over, point them badly and water stalls in the corners where debris and algae then settle. The rubber body flexes to the angle you set and stays there.

Fitting it

Shut the pump down and wait for flow to stop. Loosen the locking ring, remove the eyeball fitting, then push the director into the return from behind until it pops into place. Refit the eyeball, tighten the ring and start the pump to check the aim before you walk away.

Buying options

If the eyeball itself is also worn, the same director is available as an assembly with a 1 inch eyeball return nozzle.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What size fitting does it go in?
A 1 inch eyeball fitting.
How is it installed?
Shut the pump off and let the flow stop. Loosen the locking ring and take the existing eyeball fitting out, push the flow director into the return fitting from behind so it pops into place, then refit the eyeball and tighten the locking ring.
Can I change the direction of the water?
Yes. Rotating the eyeball changes which way the water goes, and adjusting the angle of the director changes how high and how far the flow reaches. Turn the pump back on and check the flow before you settle on a setting.
Can I buy it already fitted to a nozzle?
Yes. The same flow director is also offered as an assembly with a 1 inch eyeball fitting if you are replacing both parts.
