Hayward SPX1700FG Pipe Plug With Gasket

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX1700FG is a pipe plug with gasket used to seal a pump housing drain port on compatible Hayward pumps. It threads into the wet end so the pump can hold prime and operate without leakage. This plug is typically removed to drain the pump for winterizing or repairs.

Why This Part Matters
If the plug gasket is worn or the plug is cracked, the pump can drip continuously at the drain port. Small leaks can become air leaks over time, leading to priming trouble and inconsistent circulation. A new plug and gasket restores a tight seal.
