AstralPool - 50mm Union Fitting for Alaska Max Pump - 4405012005

AstralPool – 50mm Union Fitting for Alaska Max Pump

This genuine AstralPool 50 mm union fitting is the official hydraulic pipe connector for the Astral Alaska Max pool pump. It attaches the pump’s suction or discharge port to 50 mm pool pipework, creating a secure, watertight union that allows the pump to be disconnected and serviced without cutting the pipework. This is part position 7 in the official Fluidra exploded-view diagram for the Alaska Max pump.

Compatibility

This union fitting is designed specifically for the AstralPool Alaska Max pump (parent SKU 41598) and fits across the full Alaska Max range (41597–41606). It is an exact OEM replacement sourced directly from Fluidra’s official spare parts catalogue, ensuring a precise dimensional match with the pump’s 50 mm hydraulic connections.

Why Genuine Matters

An off-specification union fitting can cause joint leaks, pressure loss, and premature pump failure. As a genuine AstralPool part, this fitting is manufactured to the same tolerances as the original, guaranteeing a leak-free seal and long-term durability under continuous pool pump pressures. Counterfeit or generic fittings often use substandard plastics that degrade quickly under UV exposure and pool chemicals.

Installation

The union design means the fitting can be hand-tightened for a secure, tool-free connection once the tail piece is fixed to the pipework — making future pump removal and reinstallation straightforward. Always use PTFE tape on threaded joints and ensure the union O-ring is correctly seated before final tightening. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with pool pump plumbing.
