Hayward SPX1480A Ball Connector

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX1480A Ball Connector is a replacement component used within compatible Hayward plumbing assemblies. It forms part of the union or valve connection structure in pool circulation systems.

Why This Part Matters
If the ball connector becomes cracked or deformed, sealing pressure may be lost. That can lead to suction air leaks or visible water seepage at the pad. Replacing it restores proper connection alignment and pressure integrity.
