Waterway Plastics 400-1410FB Eyeball Return Fitting Assembly - 1 inch 90 Degree White

What This Part Is Used For
The Waterway Plastics 400-1410FB eyeball return fitting assembly is used to direct filtered water back into a pool or spa through a wall return opening. This assembly includes a 90 degree return configuration that allows water flow to be redirected immediately upon exit from the wall. It is commonly installed in pool return lines where directional control is needed without additional plumbing bends. This style is frequently used when space behind the wall is limited or when a clean internal turn is preferred.

Why This Part Matters
Return flow direction plays a major role in circulation efficiency, surface movement, and debris control. A worn or improperly aimed return fitting can create dead zones, uneven chemical distribution, or poor skimming action. The 90 degree configuration helps achieve targeted flow without stressing external plumbing. Replacing damaged or mismatched return assemblies restores predictable circulation and improves overall system performance.
