Hayward SP1419BBLK Hydrostream Directional Flow Inlet Fitting (Black) — 1-1/2" MIP x 3/8" Opening
The Hayward SP1419BBLK is an OEM Hydrostream directional return inlet (eyeball) fitting with a 3/8" orifice opening and 1-1/2" male pipe thread (MIP) connection. It installs at the pool wall return and lets you aim the return stream to improve circulation, while the smaller opening increases return velocity for a more focused jet.
Key Features
- Directional eyeball lets you point return flow where you need it
- 3/8" opening helps increase stream velocity (useful for shaping/strengthening return flow)
- 1-1/2" MIP threaded inlet fits common wall-return adapters/fittings
- Durable ABS construction for pool environments
- Black finish for dark-wall fittings and modern pool aesthetics

Installation Notes
- Verify your return line/fitting accepts a 1-1/2" MIP threaded inlet.
- Hand-tighten and align; avoid overtightening plastic threads.
- Aim the eyeball to improve circulation (commonly angled slightly downward and across the pool, depending on layout).
- System check: a smaller return opening can increase backpressure—confirm your pump/filter system can operate normally after installation.

Maintenance Tips
- Brush around return fittings regularly to prevent debris and scale buildup.
- If the eyeball becomes hard to adjust, remove it and rinse out sand/grit before reinstalling.
- Keep water chemistry balanced to reduce calcium scaling that can restrict the opening over time.
- If overall return flow seems weak, check the pump basket and filter condition first—dirty filtration is the most common cause.
