Hayward SP1418DBLK Hydrostream Large Directional Flow Inlet (Black) — 1-1/2" MIP x 3/4" Eyeball

The Hayward SP1418DBLK is an OEM Hydrostream large directional return inlet with an extended flange face and a 3/4" adjustable eyeball opening. It installs at a pool wall return to let you aim return flow for improved circulation and fewer dead spots. This version is finished in black to match darker pool trim and modern pool finishes.

Key Features

  • 3/4" directional eyeball allows adjustable return stream aiming
  • Extended flange provides wider face coverage for a clean, finished look
  • 1-1/2" male pipe thread (MIP/MPT) inlet connection for common wall-return fittings
  • Durable pool-grade construction for long-term use
  • Black color

Common Reasons to Replace

Installation Notes

  • Verify your wall return accepts a 1-1/2" male threaded return inlet.
  • Hand-tighten and align—avoid overtightening plastic threads.
  • Aim returns to improve circulation (often angled slightly downward and across the pool, depending on layout and skimmer location).
  • If you replace multiple returns, keep orifice sizes consistent in the same zone for balanced flow.

Maintenance Tips

  • Brush around return fittings regularly to prevent debris and scale buildup.
  • If the eyeball becomes stiff, 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.
