Hayward SPX2700SAV Viton Shaft Seal - For MaxFlo VS 500

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX2700SAV is a Viton shaft seal listed for MaxFlo VS 500 pumps. It seals the rotating motor shaft where it passes through the seal plate so water stays in the wet end. This seal is replaced during pump motor service or when the pump is leaking at the motor face.

Why This Part Matters
A leaking shaft seal is one of the fastest ways to ruin a motor because water can reach the bearings. Even a small drip can turn into a full motor failure if it is ignored. Replacing the shaft seal protects the motor and stops equipment pad leaks.
