Hayward SPX1495Z1 O-Ring (Union End Connector Seal)

Part # SPX1495Z1 — a genuine replacement o-ring seal manufactured by Hayward for use in the union end connector assemblies of various Hayward Pool and Spa pumps, including the PowerFlo® SP1500/II SP1700 series and compatible union fittings.

Key Features

• Precisely molded o-ring designed to seal the union end connector on Hayward pump models and union accessories.
• Constructed from high-quality elastomer material engineered to resist pool chemical exposure and maintain compression set resistance over time.
• Genuine Hayward OEM part ensures proper fit, maintains system integrity and supports warranty compliance.
• Compact replacement part that installs easily during routine pump or plumbing maintenance.

Typical Applications

This o-ring is used when the union end connector on compatible Hayward pumps or union fittings shows signs of leakage, deformation, wear, or loss of sealing performance. Ideal when you are replacing the union connection on the pump strainer basket, motor housing or plumbing union to restore a watertight seal.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Shut off pool pump power, relieve system pressure and drain any residual water before servicing. Disassemble the union end connector, remove the old o-ring, clean the sealing surface, and inspect the groove for scratches or damage. Lightly lubricate the new SPX1495Z1 o-ring with a compatible pool-safe silicone lubricant, seat it fully in the groove, reassemble the union and hand-tighten per manufacturer’s guidance. After installation, power up the system and check for any leaks under normal flow conditions.

Why Choose This O-Ring?

Using the genuine Hayward SPX1495Z1 ensures the correct seal geometry and material compatibility as originally designed for the equipment. This helps reduce the risk of leaks, improves long-term reliability and supports proper system operation in pool environments where chemical exposure and pressure cycles are common.

Maintenance Tips

• Check the union connection periodically for signs of seepage, moisture or corrosion around the joint.
• During winterizing or long idle periods, inspect the o-ring and replace if hardened, cracked or deformed.
• Avoid using petroleum-based lubricants on the o-ring—use only pool-safe silicone grease to preserve material integrity.
• Whenever the union is disassembled for service, consider replacing the o-ring to maintain a reliable seal and prevent future leaks.
