Hayward SPX1600T Housing Gasket — Replacement for Super Pump / MaxFlo Pump Housings
The Hayward SPX1600T is the OEM-grade housing gasket used in many of Hayward’s Super Pump and MaxFlo pool pumps. It seals the pump wet end housing to the seal plate, ensuring a watertight and air-tight connection — critical for proper suction, pump prime, and reliable performance.
Key Features
- OEM replacement gasket — designed specifically for Hayward Super Pump and MaxFlo pump housings requiring SPX1600-series seals.
- Chemical- and water-resistant rubber construction — durable enough to withstand pool water, heat, and seasonal use.
- Vital for maintaining suction seal — prevents air leaks, loss of prime, and flow issues caused by worn or damaged gaskets.
- Simple to install — replace old gasket during routine maintenance or pump rebuild for a reliable, long-lasting seal.

When to Replace

Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Shut off power and drain the pump before disassembly.
- Clean housing and seal plate mating surfaces thoroughly — remove old gasket material, debris, or buildup before installing the new gasket.
- Slightly lubricate gasket with a pool-safe lubricant to ease seating and future removal (avoid petroleum-based lubes).
- Reassemble the pump carefully, ensuring uniform compression and correct alignment; check for leaks after priming.
