Hayward SX200Z2 Air Tube Lock Screw

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX200Z2 is an air tube lock screw used on compatible Hayward sand filter assemblies. It secures the air tube component in place so it stays positioned correctly during operation and service. This hardware is used inside the filter assembly where the air tube is installed.

Why This Part Matters
If the lock screw is missing or stripped, the air tube can shift and cause nuisance air issues or inconsistent behavior after service. Loose internal parts can also rattle, misalign, or interfere with proper reassembly. Replacing the correct lock screw helps keep internal components stable and serviceable. This small part can prevent repeat tear-downs caused by an air tube that will not stay seated.
