Hayward Filter Bulkhead Fitting, for S200T | SX200D
Hayward bulkhead fitting SX200D has been discontinued and is no longer available from the manufacturer.
This listing is maintained for product identification, compatibility, specifications and historical reference only. This exact fitting cannot be ordered or backordered through Aqua Terra Backyard.
Hayward has not identified a direct replacement for SX200D. Confirm the filter model and the exact component that has failed before considering a larger repair or complete-filter replacement.
Hayward Filter Bulkhead Fitting for S200 and S240 | SX200D
Hayward SX200D is the bulkhead fitting used at the valve connection on compatible Hayward S200-series sand filters. The fitting helps secure the control-valve plumbing connection at the filter tank while maintaining proper alignment between the valve and the internal filter plumbing.
A complete Hayward S200 filter uses two SX200D bulkhead fittings, one at each valve connection. This listing identifies one individual bulkhead fitting unless a different quantity is specifically stated elsewhere on the product page.
What Is SX200D Used For?
- Secures the valve connection at the filter tank
- Supports proper valve-to-tank plumbing alignment
- Services a cracked, stripped or damaged bulkhead fitting
- Used at both S200 filter valve connections
- Identified as a genuine Hayward replacement component
What This Listing Does Not Include
- Vari-Flo multiport control valve
- Filter tank or tank-head assembly
- Internal top or bottom elbow
- Valve-union O-ring
- Tank-side SX200Z3 sealing O-ring
- Second bulkhead fitting
Product Features
- Model-specific filter component: Designed for the bulkhead connection used on compatible Hayward S200 and commonly listed S240 sand-filter applications.
- Valve-connection support: Helps hold the multiport-valve plumbing connection securely against the filter tank.
- Leak-repair component: May be required when the original fitting is cracked, distorted, stripped or no longer tightens correctly.
- Two-fittings-per-filter design: Hayward identifies two SX200D fittings in the S200 filter assembly.
- Separate sealing components: The tank-side SX200Z3 O-rings and valve-side SX200Z4 O-rings are separate Hayward parts.
- Exact-part identification: The complete molded or printed part number should be matched before selecting filter repair components.

One Fitting Does Not Complete Both Connections
Hayward’s S200 parts diagram specifies two SX200D bulkhead fittings and two SX200Z3 tank-side O-rings per complete filter. A repair involving both valve connections may therefore require two fittings and two corresponding seals.
This product listing is for one SX200D bulkhead fitting only. O-rings, valve components, internal elbows and additional hardware are not included unless specifically shown and stated.
Installation and Fitment Guidance
Shut off the circulation pump, disconnect electrical power and fully relieve pressure from the filtration system before loosening the multiport valve or any bulkhead connection.
- Confirm the filter model from the tank identification label
- Verify the molded part number on the existing fitting
- Inspect the tank opening for cracks or distortion
- Inspect both internal elbow connections for damage
- Replace worn or damaged O-rings as required
- Clean all sealing surfaces before reassembly
- Align the valve connections evenly with the tank openings
- Do not overtighten plastic fittings or locknuts
- Pressure-test the system and inspect for leaks after startup
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hayward SX200D still available?
No. Hayward SX200D has been discontinued and is no longer available from the manufacturer. This page remains online for product identification and repair-reference purposes.
What is the Hayward SX200D bulkhead fitting used for?
SX200D is used at the filter-tank connections where the Hayward Vari-Flo control valve connects to compatible S200-series sand-filter plumbing.
How many SX200D fittings does an S200 filter use?
Hayward’s S200 parts diagram specifies two SX200D bulkhead fittings, one for each control-valve connection at the side of the filter tank.
Does this listing include two bulkhead fittings?
No. This listing identifies one individual SX200D fitting. Two may be required when replacing both fittings on the filter.
Is the SX200Z3 O-ring included?
No. SX200Z3 is the separately identified tank-side O-ring associated with the bulkhead connection. It is not included with this individual fitting listing.
Is SX200D the same as the multiport valve?
No. SX200D is the bulkhead fitting. The Vari-Flo control valve is a separate assembly with its own Hayward part number.
Will replacing the bulkhead fitting stop a filter leak?
It may stop the leak when the original fitting is cracked, stripped or distorted. A leak can also come from an O-ring, valve union, internal elbow or damaged filter tank, so the entire connection should be inspected.
Can the old O-ring be reused?
Reuse is not recommended when the O-ring is flattened, cracked, swollen, hardened or otherwise damaged. A worn seal may continue to leak after the fitting is replaced.
Is there a direct replacement for Hayward SX200D?
Hayward has not identified a direct replacement for the discontinued SX200D fitting. Repair options depend on whether the damaged component is the fitting, seal, valve, internal plumbing or filter tank.
How do I confirm that SX200D is the correct part?
Confirm the filter model from the tank label, compare the existing fitting with the S200 parts diagram and verify the complete Hayward part number before ordering any remaining service components.
Need Help Identifying a Hayward Filter Connection?
Match the filter model, valve part number, bulkhead fitting and both sealing O-rings before planning the repair. A matching photo alone does not always confirm a matching filter part.
