It provides a 90-degree turn while keeping the joint serviceable for maintenance. This part is typically installed at the equipment pad near a filter or other connected component. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If a union elbow is cracked or the sealing surface is damaged, it will leak and can’t be reliably tightened into submission. Leaks at the pad waste water and can cause air intrusion depending on where the elbow sits in the plumbing run. Replacing the correct union elbow restores a solid seal and keeps future service easy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number SPX1485B\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnion elbow fitting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eServiceable 90-degree connection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsed on compatible Hayward equipment pad plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps maintain leak-free circulation connections\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Inspect and replace any associated gaskets or O-rings if needed.
