HaywardSPX3200UNKIT Union Connector Replacement Kit for Select Hayward Pump and Heater

Quick response on a heat exchange connector. It worked well

When a local pool company installed our Hayward EcoStar pump they shortened the length of the pipe from the 90 degree elbow that comes out of the ground to the inlet of the pump so that it had only 3 inches of length instead of the required 10 inches (minimum). The EcoStar pump had a drive controller that burned out and replacing it is cost prohibitive so I turned the Variable Speed pump into a 2-speed pump now known as a Hayward TriStar since I was able to use most of the parts (pump housing, seal plate, diffuser, impeller, motor support) with a new seal kit. I also left 10.5 inches of (2 inch) piping between the elbow and the inlet. It's for this reason that I ordered this union kit so that I could accommodate the new length of pipe on both the inlet and outlet.This worked out really well. I found it easier to add the 2 inch PVC pipe to the ends of the union kit using some primer and cement and then gently tapping down the pipe into the union ends (but not hard) so as to make sure the pipe is in the furthest it can go. I also made a beveled edge on the PVC pipe using a deburring tool to reduce the amount of turbulence in the flow. I wish the local pool installer did the job right the first time but thankful I was able to find the union kit here on Amazon for half the price from the same local pool store.I ended up doing this twice because I could not get the horizontal & vertical pipes just right, so I made myself a little aid out of wood that I could place under the top pipes, built up the vertical pipe and then cut the pipe to the right length. The aid was something I cobbled together out of scrap wood using pocket screws so it was easy to take apart and use the scraps on other things.

Price is way outta wack for some plastic fittings.

THEY FIT PERFECT

The plumber came and changed the part and now the pool filter is working well.

OEM unions

It fit and it does its job.

Original Hayward , no complaints here

There is no sizing in the description and as a result I have had to source these else where because they did not fit.

Expensive but they worked.

Good product. Fit and worked well

Exact match to original.

Good description
