It is a new genuine Hayward part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the lateral does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaterals are the slotted fingers screwed into the hub at the bottom of a sand filter. Filtered water passes through their slots on the way out while the sand stays behind. The slots are narrow by design, and when one splits or a thread lets go, sand escapes straight into the plumbing and shows up in the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the threaded style, so check that your hub takes screw in laterals rather than the snap in kind. The listing is for one lateral. A hub carries several, and if one has failed from age the rest are usually the same age, so many owners replace the full set at once.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48628890894548,"sku":"HAY-051-2197","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_3f41aed4-669a-4bd6-b04e-c74cdeb5441c.png?v=1788757008","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/threaded-lateral-4-3-4","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
