What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX160Z5 is a clear long hose listed as 22 inch for compatible Hayward filter system applications. It is used as a small hose line associated with filter service functions where a short, clear section is required. This hose is used at the equipment pad during maintenance and draining tasks.

Why This Part Matters
A brittle or cracked hose can leak during service and make winterizing and drain downs messy. If the hose collapses or slips, it can slow draining and create nuisance water on the pad.
