Waterway Plastics 711-4290 Faceplate Gasket - SVL56

What This Part Is Used For
The Waterway Plastics 711-4290 faceplate gasket is used to seal the interface between a jet or fitting faceplate and the spa or pool wall. It installs behind the faceplate to prevent water from bypassing the fitting and leaking into the shell or equipment area. This gasket is commonly used in SVL56 jet assemblies where a precise seal is required. It plays a critical role in maintaining watertight integrity at the wall penetration.

Why This Part Matters
A compromised faceplate gasket can allow slow leaks that are difficult to detect until damage occurs. Water intrusion behind the shell can lead to structural issues, staining, or premature component failure. Using the correct gasket ensures even compression and proper sealing under operating pressure. OEM fitment helps avoid uneven tightening and faceplate distortion.
