Sized at 1\u00bd” \u00d7 2″ with female (FIP) threads on both connections, this Hayward wall return inlet fitting is purpose-built for fibreglass in-ground pools where a clean, flush wall finish is required. The body is moulded in heavy-duty ABS for long-term chemical and UV resistance, while the fastening hardware is stainless steel to prevent corrosion in the wet pool environment.<\/p>\n
The fitting ships as a complete installation set \u2014 ABS body, rubber sealing gaskets, a locking ring, and stainless steel screws \u2014 so no separate hardware is needed at the time of fitting. The white finish blends discretely with fibreglass pool shells and maintains its colour under prolonged pool-water exposure.<\/p>\n
The dual female-thread configuration (1\u00bd” inner \/ 2″ outer) allows the fitting to accept standard male-threaded return pipework directly, eliminating the need for additional adaptor couplings and providing a secure, leak-resistant joint at the wall penetration.<\/p>\n
Specified by Hayward for use in fibreglass pools, this inlet is a genuine OEM part and is the correct choice when replacing ageing or damaged return fittings in existing fibreglass shells, or when plumbing a new pool to Hayward’s return-inlet standard. Always verify the thread pitch and shell wall thickness before installation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
