It seals the drain cap so the filter can hold water and pressure without leaking from the drain port. This gasket sits at the drain assembly near the base of the filter tank.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A worn drain gasket can cause steady dripping at the bottom of the filter, especially after winterizing and reopening. Even a small leak at the drain adds up and can damage pads and surrounding equipment. Replacing the gasket restores a reliable seal without over-tightening the cap. It also keeps draining and refilling clean and controlled during service.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number: SX200Z9\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDrain cap gasket for compatible Hayward sand filters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeals the drain cap at the filter drain port\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsed to correct leaks at the drain assembly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCommon service replacement during winterizing and reopenings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Shut off the pump and relieve pressure before opening the drain cap.
