Hayward SX360E Bulkhead Spacer

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX360E is a bulkhead spacer used with compatible Hayward sand filter bulkhead assemblies. It fits at the bulkhead area where internal plumbing aligns through the filter tank wall. This spacer supports proper positioning of the bulkhead components during assembly.

Why This Part Matters
If the bulkhead assembly is not spaced correctly, seals may not seat properly and leaks can develop at the tank wall. Misalignment can also stress fittings and make the valve or plumbing harder to tighten evenly. Replacing a missing or damaged spacer helps restore proper fit and sealing. This is a small part that can prevent repeat bulkhead leaks.

Common Service Context
