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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number SPX1620AA\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePump housing with integrated strainer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2 inch x 2 inch port sizing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWet end body for compatible Hayward pumps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnects motor assembly to pool plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Inspect all mating surfaces and replace O-rings or gaskets during installation.
