LATERAL LACRON 120MMCAPPED1928

Hayward Lateral Lacron 60 MM Capped 1929 is an internal “lateral” part used in a sand-type pool filter (specifically designed for compatible Hayward sand filters). It consists of a set of small plastic tube-arms positioned at the bottom of the filter tank that serve a critical function: after pool water has passed down through the sand bed (which traps dirt and debris), the lateral collects the clean water through its slotted openings, keeping the sand particles contained, and channels the filtered water up through the center standpipe and back to the pool. Because it is “capped” and sized at 60 mm, it’s meant to fit specific filter tank geometries, ensuring a snug seal and proper alignment so that sand cannot bypass the filter media. If the lateral were missing or damaged — even a small crack — sand could flow back into the pool, filtration efficiency would drop, and water quality could deteriorate, making this part essential for reliable, clean filtration.
