It secures a fitting or internal component at a tank wall or internal connection point so parts stay tight and aligned. This hardware is used during filter assembly and service rebuilds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A cracked, stripped, or missing locknut can cause fittings to loosen and create leaks at the tank wall or internal joints. Loose hardware can also make it difficult to keep seals seated correctly, leading to repeat drips. Replacing the correct locknut restores proper clamping force without improvised fixes. It is a common need when older hardware has been overtightened or damaged during repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number: SX200R\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLocknut for compatible Hayward sand filter assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSecures fittings and components during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsed to maintain alignment and sealing at connection points\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eService replacement hardware for filter rebuilds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Depressurize the filter completely before tightening or removing internal hardware. Tighten evenly and only to the point needed to seat seals without stressing plastic fittings.

Their sand filters are widely used and supported with serviceable internal components and hardware for long term maintenance. This compatibility helps technicians rebuild filters rather than replace complete units. Hayward replacement parts are widely supported across the pool industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Service Context\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Techs typically replace locknuts when a bulkhead or internal fitting will not stay tight or when hardware threads are damaged during a rebuild. It is often identified when a leak persists at a connection point even with new O-rings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52050089148690,"sku":"SX200R","price":8.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/2279\/1186\/files\/HPPSX200R_0.jpg?v=1771891346","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaterrabackyard.com\/products\/hayward-sx200r-locknut","provider":"Aqua Terra Backyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
