AFZZ SP1023 1-1/2-Inch FIP Inlet Return Fitting — 2 Pack for Hayward Above Ground & Inground Pools

AFZZ SP1023 1-1/2-Inch FIP Inlet Return Fitting — 2 Pack

Refresh your pool return system with a replacement that blends reliability and ease of use. The AFZZ SP1023 two-pack is designed as a precise match for Hayward SP1023 1-1/2-in FIP return fittings, offering compatibility with both above-ground and inground pool setups. Built for straightforward swaps, this pair supports steady water distribution and a clean retrofit experience in fiberglass and vinyl-lined pools.

Each inlet fitting arrives as a complete four-piece assembly, with a flanged lock nut, two gaskets, a fiber washer, and the body. The result is a compact, rugged solution you can install without hunting for missing parts, helping you minimize downtime and disruption to your pool routine.

What it fits and how it works

The SP1023 model uses 1-1/2 inch FIP threads on both the inlet and the hose side, with internal threads suitable for hose fittings. It’s designed to pair with Hayward return fittings that require a 1-1/2" FIP connection, and it accepts standard eyeball and jet components used in many pool systems.

• Precise replacement for Hayward SP1023 1-1/2-in FIP return fittings
• 1-1/2" external threads with internal hose-thread compatibility
• Suitable for above-ground and inground fiberglass pools
• Gasket and locknut help create a secure, leak-resistant attachment

Installation and durability

Replacing the component is straightforward: remove the old part, slide in the FIP inlet fitting, apply the gasket, and tighten the locknut. The design prioritizes a solid seal at fiberglass or vinyl liner interfaces and resilience in temperature fluctuations common around poolside use.

• Easy, tool-friendly installation with standard pool hardware
• Durable materials engineered for wet environments
• Leak prevention at liner interfaces to maintain steady flow

What’s in the box

Each unit is part of a four-piece assembly: a flanged lock nut, two gaskets, a fiber washer, and the inlet body. The 2-pack provides two ready-to-install fittings for faster, less disruptive replacements.
