Hayward SPX1420A1 Rubber Flow Director

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX1420A1 Rubber Flow Director is a replacement internal component used in compatible Hayward wall or return fittings. It sits inside the fitting body and helps guide and regulate water flow as it returns to the pool.

Why This Part Matters
When a flow director becomes worn or distorted, water can disperse unevenly and reduce circulation efficiency. That can lead to weak return pressure or inconsistent surface movement. Replacing the rubber flow director restores proper internal flow control and helps maintain balanced circulation.
