It provides a 90-degree turn at the filter while allowing the line to be disconnected for service. This part is typically located right at the filter tank connection. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A cracked union elbow will leak and can undermine filter performance by losing pressure at the pad. If the connection is on the suction side of the system, it can also pull air and cause priming problems. Replacing the correct S240T union elbow restores a leak-free, serviceable connection. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number SPX1485B6\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnion elbow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFor Hayward S240T sand filter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eServiceable 90-degree connection at the filter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps prevent leaks at the equipment pad\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Inspect the union sealing surface and replace the gasket or O-ring if needed.
