It sits inside the fitting body and helps guide and regulate water flow as it returns to the pool. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number SPX1420A1\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRubber flow director component\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsed in compatible Hayward wall or return fittings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps regulate and guide return water flow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eService replacement part\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Remove the fitting face components carefully to access the internal director.
