Hayward SPX1620AA Pump Housing With Strainer - 2 inch x 2 inch

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX1620AA is a pump housing with strainer featuring 2 inch x 2 inch port sizing. It forms the main wet end body where water enters through the basket before moving into the impeller chamber. This housing mounts directly to the motor assembly and connects to suction and return plumbing.

Why This Part Matters
Cracked housings or warped sealing surfaces can cause persistent leaks and priming problems. A damaged strainer body can also stress plumbing connections and lead to air intrusion on the suction side. Replacing the housing restores structural integrity and stable circulation.

About the Hayward Brand
Hayward manufactures pumps, filters, heaters, automation systems, cleaners, salt chlorination equipment, and service parts for residential pools. Their pumps are designed so major wet end components can be replaced without re-plumbing the pad. Keeping the housing solid and sealed protects the motor and maintains hydraulic performance. Genuine Hayward components help ensure proper fit across compatible models.

Common Service Context
Techs usually replace a housing after freeze damage, stress cracks around fittings, or repeated leak repairs that no longer hold. It is also common during full wet end rebuilds when the existing body shows wear.
