Hayward SPX1485B3 Union Elbow - For S200T

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX1485B3 is a union elbow used on the Hayward S200T sand filter connection. It makes a 90-degree turn at the filter while allowing quick disassembly for service. This fitting is typically found right on the filter outlet or inlet at the equipment pad.

Why This Part Matters
A damaged union elbow is a common leak point that can drip constantly under pressure. On suction-side plumbing, a poor seal can also pull air and cause a pump to lose prime. Replacing the correct S200T union elbow restores a tight, serviceable connection.
