Hayward SPX1480C Union Nut

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX1480C Union Nut secures compatible Hayward union connections in pool plumbing systems. It threads onto the union body to compress the O-ring and lock plumbing components together.

Why This Part Matters
A cracked or stripped union nut prevents proper sealing and can cause persistent leaks. Without even compression, the union cannot maintain pressure under normal pump operation. Replacing the nut restores structural integrity to the connection.
