Product Overview

The Hayward SPX3200UNKIT Union Connector Kit is a genuine OEM replacement plumbing connection kit designed for select Hayward EcoStar, TriStar, and NorthStar pool pumps.

This kit is used to create secure, serviceable plumbing connections between the pump and the pool circulation system. It is an ideal replacement when the original union fittings are cracked, leaking, damaged, worn, or missing.

Using the correct OEM Hayward union kit helps maintain proper fit and alignment around the pump inlet and discharge connections. Union-style connections also make future pump removal and maintenance easier because the pump can be disconnected without cutting the surrounding PVC plumbing.

The SPX3200UNKIT is a practical replacement part for pump repairs, equipment-pad upgrades, and new installations using compatible Hayward pump models.

Installation Information

Before servicing the pump, turn off electrical power and relieve all pressure from the pool circulation system.

Inspect the plumbing alignment and sealing surfaces before installing the new union components. Make sure all mating surfaces are clean and properly seated before tightening the union connections.

Union nuts should be tightened securely without excessive force. Over-tightening plastic plumbing components can result in cracking or damage.

After installation, restart the circulation system and inspect all connections for leaks.

Professional installation is recommended if PVC plumbing modifications are required.
