Hayward SX200QPAK10 Threaded Lateral Set - Pack of 10 For S200T

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX200QPAK10 is a threaded lateral set specified for the Hayward S200T sand filter. Laterals form the underdrain at the bottom of the sand bed and keep sand media in the tank while allowing filtered water to pass through. This set includes 10 laterals as listed.

Why This Part Matters
Cracked laterals are one of the most common reasons sand ends up back in the pool through the returns. When laterals fail, filtration performance drops and backwashing becomes less effective. Replacing a full set helps restore proper underdrain function and keeps media where it belongs. This is typically done during a sand change when the filter is already opened.
