Function and role in the filtration circuit
The connection accessories kit 4405011429 is used to join the pump to the suction and return lines of the pool. The unions provide a
threaded connection on the pump side and a glue or socket connection on the pipe side, so the pump can be removed easily for maintenance
without cutting the pipework. Correctly installed fittings help maintain watertight joints and stable flow, while keeping the
installation compact and tidy.
- Creates removable unions between the pump and rigid PVC pipework.
- Ensures correct alignment and sealing with the original Astralpool pump ports.
- Supports clean routing of suction and discharge lines in the technical room.
Typical contents and construction
This Astralpool kit groups the main hydraulic accessories required at the pump connections. The exact combination can vary with the pump
model, but it is assembled to match the exploded view for the reference that specifies 4405011429 as connection kit.
- Union nuts with threaded side adapted to the pump inlet and outlet.
- Tailpieces or sockets for gluing standard PVC pipe of the specified diameter.
- Flat gaskets or o-rings to seal the union against the pump body.
- Plastic construction suitable for use with treated pool water and common disinfectants.
Using the original accessories helps avoid compatibility issues with threads, diameters or sealing surfaces and gives a professional
finish to the pipework around the pump.
Compatibility and applications
The Astralpool connection accessories kit 4405011429 is intended for use on specific Astralpool pool pumps that list this code in their
exploded view or spare parts list. It is especially useful when installing a new pump, replacing a unit with damaged fittings or
rebuilding an existing filtration circuit during renovation work.
- Suitable for Astralpool pumps that specify connection kit 4405011429.
- Ideal for new installations where the original unions are not supplied with the pump.
- Recommended when old unions are cracked, seized or leaking.
Always check the pump identification plate and the documentation to confirm that this is the correct connection kit for your model
before ordering.
Installation recommendations
Installing the Astralpool connection accessories kit 4405011429 is straightforward but should be carried out with the system
depressurised and the electrical supply to the pump isolated. Correct preparation of the pipe and fittings is essential for long term
sealing.
- Mount the pump on a stable, level base before preparing the connections.
- Dry fit the unions and pipes to check alignment and support before gluing.
- Clean and deburr the PVC pipe ends before applying solvent cement to the sockets.
- Allow sufficient curing time for the adhesive before tightening the union nuts.
- Tighten the unions by hand until snug; avoid overtightening which can deform gaskets or threads.
After assembly, fill and prime the pump, start the filtration system and check the connections carefully for any signs of seepage during
the first minutes of operation.
Good practice for durable connections
With the Astralpool connection accessories kit 4405011429 correctly installed, a few simple habits will help the fittings and unions
deliver a long, trouble free service life.
- Support the suction and return lines so the unions are not strained by pipe weight.
- Avoid using tools on the union nuts; hand tightening is normally sufficient.
- Inspect the gaskets periodically and renew them if flattening or cracks appear.
- Protect the technical area from direct sunlight and extreme temperature swings where possible.
Using the original Astralpool connection accessories kit 4405011429 ensures compatible, service friendly unions on the pump and helps
keep the filtration pipework clean, accessible and watertight over many seasons.
