Hayward TANK FITTING ASSY

The Hayward Tank Fitting Assembly is a specialized plumbing interface designed to create a secure, watertight connection for inlet and outlet ports on filter tanks, such as the Perflex D.E. series. Manufactured from high-strength, glass-reinforced thermoplastic, this assembly is engineered to withstand constant hydraulic pressure and the mechanical stresses of vibrating plumbing lines. Its primary mechanical function is to provide a stable pass-through for water entering or exiting the filter vessel, utilizing a combination of precision-molded threads, a heavy-duty nut, and a dedicated gasket or O-ring to prevent leaks at the tank wall. The assembly is built to resist the degrading effects of UV exposure and pool sanitizers, ensuring that the connection remains structural and leak-free over years of service. Its design often includes a flanged base that helps distribute pressure across the tank’s surface, preventing localized stress cracks in the composite housing. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Tank Fitting Assembly is approximately 0.65 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the individual molded components is roughly 0.42 pounds.
