- T-seal profile The flat T shaped section seats in the union groove instead of rolling like a round cord o-ring.
- Northstar and TriStar The union gasket used on Hayward Northstar and TriStar pump unions.
- Stops union weeping A hardened or flattened seal is the usual cause of a drip at the pump union nut.

Product details
The Hayward SPX3200UG is the union gasket, or T-seal, used at the pump union connections on Hayward Northstar and TriStar pumps. It ships as a set of two, which covers both the suction and the discharge union on a single pump.
Why a T-seal and not an o-ring
The seal has a flat T shaped section instead of a round cord. That profile locks into the groove in the union so it cannot roll or twist out of place while the union nut is being tightened, which is exactly the failure that leaves a pump dripping after a reassembly.
When to replace it
If a union weeps once the nut is hand tight and then wrench snugged, the seal has usually gone hard, taken a permanent flat, or split. Rubber in a pump union sees heat cycling every day the pump runs, so it is normal for it to age out well before the pump does. Fit fresh seals any time the plumbing comes apart for pump service and use a silicone lubricant on them.
