Compatibility & Fitment

• Designed as a direct replacement for Hayward models SP1023 and SP1419D.
• Fits most above-ground and in-ground pools with standard 1-1/2 inch return plumbing cutouts.
• Installs through the pool wall and vinyl liner to create a secure, sealed return line connection.

When to Replace

• Visible cracks, discoloration, or physical damage on the fitting body or eyeball jet.
• Water leaking at the fitting's connection point on the pool wall.
• Stripped threads on the locknut, wall fitting, or eyeball jet.
• Brittle or compressed gasket causing an improper seal.
• Eyeball jet is seized, broken, or no longer adjustable.

Installation Tips

• Lower the pool water level below the return opening before removing the old fitting.
• Ensure the pool wall surface is clean and smooth before placing the new gasket.
• Position the gasket between the fitting flange and the interior pool liner.
• Tighten the exterior locknut firmly by hand, then use a tool for a final quarter-turn to secure. Avoid over-tightening to prevent cracking.
• Apply thread sealant tape to the eyeball jet threads before screwing it into the wall fitting for a watertight seal.
