Hayward SPX1434EA Bulkhead Fitting and Gasket Kit

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX1434EA Bulkhead Fitting and Gasket Kit is a replacement bulkhead assembly used in compatible Hayward pool and spa fittings. It creates a sealed plumbing pass-through connection where piping penetrates a wall, tank, or fitting body.

Why This Part Matters
A failing bulkhead is a common source of slow leaks around wall fittings or equipment housings. If the gasket is compromised, water can seep behind liners or around equipment pads. Replacing the full kit restores proper compression and prevents ongoing water loss.
