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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number SPX1700FG\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePipe plug with gasket\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeals pump housing drain opening\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFor compatible Hayward pump wet ends\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eService part used for draining and resealing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Clean the threads and sealing surface before installing the plug.
