Hayward SX200D Bulkhead Fitting - For S200T

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX200D is a bulkhead fitting specified for the Hayward S200T sand filter. It is the pass-through fitting that connects outside plumbing or the valve connection to the internal filter plumbing through the tank wall. This fitting is located at the filter tank wall where leaks typically show first.

Why This Part Matters
A cracked bulkhead fitting can cause persistent leaks that waste water and damage the equipment pad. If the bulkhead is distorted, new O-rings may not seal and the leak will return. Replacing the correct bulkhead restores a proper sealing surface and keeps internal plumbing aligned. This is a common repair after freeze damage or overtightening during prior service.
